The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) continued its vital support for the Yemeni people in the first quarter of 2024. A significant aid convoy consisting of 330 relief trucks crossed the Al-Wadiah border crossing to deliver a total of 5,752 tons and 313 kilograms of critical supplies.
The vital assistance included food baskets, shelter materials, medical aid, dates, and logistical support to ensure the efficient distribution of these resources. The aid reached 14 Yemeni governorates: Hadramout, Al-Jawf, Al-Mahra, Sanaa, Shabwa, Abyan, Aden, Saada, Hajjah, Marib, Hodeidah, Taiz, Lahj, and Al-Dhalea, SPA reported.
The initiative exemplifies the unwavering commitment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, through KSrelief, to alleviate the suffering of the Yemeni people amid a humanitarian crisis.

A building in Beirut’s southern suburbs known as Dahieh was struck on Sunday almost an hour after the Israeli army issued an evacuation order to residents of the area.

The Israeli army's spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, earlier said on X that residents should evacuate several buildings in the Hadath neighborhood and move "at least 300 meters away.”

Residents reported hearing gunfire across the area, which they said they believed was intended to warn people to leave, as well as seeing a massive traffic jam on roads leading from the area.

"To everyone located in the building marked in red on the attached map, and the surrounding buildings: you are near facilities belonging to Hezbollah," Adraee wrote in a post that included a map of the potential targets.

The Israeli army said the building was being used to store precision missiles belonging to Hezbollah.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a statement that Hezbollah's precision missiles "posed a significant threat to the State of Israel."

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun called on the United States and France, as guarantors of the ceasefire agreement struck in November, to compel Israel to stop its attacks.
"Israel's continued actions in undermining stability will exacerbate tensions and place the region at real risk, threatening its security and stability," he said in a statement.

Earlier this month an Israeli airstrike killed four people, including a Hezbollah official, in Beirut's southern suburbs -the second Israeli strike on a Hezbollah-controlled area of the Lebanese capital in five days.
