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.

Britain said on Thursday it had signed a security pact with Iraq to target people smuggling gangs and strengthen border co-operation, the latest in its efforts to crack down on illegal migration.

"There are smuggler gangs profiting from dangerous small boat crossings whose operations stretch back through Northern France, Germany, across Europe, to the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and beyond," Britain's interior minister Yvette Cooper said in a statement, Reuters reported.

"Organized criminals operate across borders, so law enforcement needs to operate across borders too," she said during a visit to Iraq and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

Britain will also support Iraqi law enforcement to tackle other serious organised crime, including countering narcotics, the statement added.
