Saudi aid agency KSrelief recently initiated seven environmental sanitation projects in Yemen’s Marib governorate.
The agency is collaborating with UNICEF to establish and renovate water systems in Marib. The sanitation system at the community college camp for displaced individuals will also be upgraded. In Harib, projects include renovating the water system, main water tank and line pump. These efforts will benefit approximately 145,000 displaced individuals and members of the host community.
Marib’s deputy governor, Abd-Rabbu Miftah, commended the Kingdom’s humanitarian efforts, through KSrelief, to assist displaced and affected families in Marib, and emphasized the importance of these projects, which he said “alleviate the suffering of those in need in Yemen.”
KSrelief also distributed fishing equipment — including containers and life vests — to Yemeni fishermen in Al-Mahrah governorate as part of an emergency assistance project implemented in cooperation with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. The project, which benefits 3,000 fishermen, will help to provide the local market with high-quality products and improving the men’s living conditions, according to KSrelief.
The agency also recently concluded the three-day Saudi Pulse campaign at Al-Ghaydah Central Hospital in Al-Mahra governorate. The campaign received more than 20 patients daily for diagnostic and therapeutic catheterization procedures and open-heart surgery.
