KSrelief Delivers Humanitarian Aid Projects in Yemen, Lebanon

King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has continued the implementation of the water and environmental sanitation project in Yemeni directorates of Hajjah and Saada governorates.

The project has been implemented in the districts of Midi, Hayran, Harad, and Abs in Hajjah and Al-Azhor camp in Saada’s Razih district.

In Hajjah, 692,000 liters of potable water and 8.09 million liters of usable water were pumped from April 12 to 18. Meanwhile, 30,100 individuals in Saada have benefited from the delivery of 70,000 liters of potable water and 70,000 liters of usable water to the governorate.

The Riyadh-based center has also continued its project of enhancing the healthcare services provided to the Syrian refugees and the host community in the town of Arsal in the Lebanese governorate of Baalbek.

In March 2023, Arsal Healthcare Center provided 11,663 services to 5,935 patients in the departments of clinics, pharmacy, laboratory, and nursing as well as through the community and psychological health program.

Males constituted 43 percent of the patients who received healthcare in the center, while females represented 57 percent of beneficiaries.

Also, 60 percent of the beneficiaries were refugees and 40 percent of them were residents.

The aid comes within the framework of the keenness of the Kingdom, represented by KSrelief, to provide humanitarian aid for the needy and Syrian refugees in all fields to alleviate their suffering amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday during an interview with Israeli Channel 14 that he had ordered the military to be prepared for an intense war in Lebanon if the ceasefire's framework is violated.

The ceasefire was brokered by the United States and France to end the conflict between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah, fought in parallel with the Gaza war. The truce lasts for 60 days in the hope of reaching a permanent cessation of hostilities.

The ceasefire deal stipulates that unauthorized military facilities south of the Litani River should be dismantled, but does not mention military facilities north of the river.

Israeli strikes on Lebanon have killed at least 3,961 people and injured 16,520 others since October 2023, the Lebanese health ministry said on Thursday.

Hezbollah strikes have killed 45 civilians in northern Israel and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. At least 73 Israeli soldiers have been killed in northern Israel, the Golan Heights, and in combat in southern Lebanon, according to Israeli authorities.

Under the ceasefire terms, Israeli forces can take up to 60 days to withdraw from southern Lebanon but neither side can launch offensive operations.

Netanyahu also said that conditions for reaching a possible deal to secure the release of Israeli hostages in the Gaza Strip have considerably improved.
Asked about a possible hostage deal in the interview, Netanyahu said: "I think the conditions have very much changed for the better."
He did not give specific details.
