The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has extended the contract for the Masam project, aimed at clearing Yemeni territory of mines, for another year, at a cost of $35,998,500.
The project is carried out by Saudi personnel and international experts working alongside trained Yemeni teams to clear all types of randomly planted mines in Yemeni lands. It focuses on dismantling these mines and eliminating the threats they pose to the Yemeni population. It also includes capacity-building and training activities for Yemeni individuals involved in mine clearance.
KSrelief Supervisor General Dr. Abdullah Al Rabeeah emphasized the crucial significance of renewing the contract for this project, as it plays a vital role in the clearance of Yemeni territory from mines intentionally planted in areas that endangered innocent civilians, leading to lifelong injuries, disabilities, and tragic loss of life among women, children, and older people.
So far, the project has cleared 450,919 mines and various missiles, SPA quoted Al Rabeeah saying.
Al Rabeeah also expressed thanks and appreciation to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for their outstanding humanitarian and relief initiatives in Yemen and other various countries.

US President Donald Trump secured a $600 billion commitment from Saudi Arabia on Tuesday to invest in the United States as he kicked off a Gulf tour in Riyadh where he was welcomed by Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister.

The leaders signed an agreement on energy, defense, mining and other areas, which the White House said will “build economic ties that will endure for generations to come.”

“The deals celebrated today are historic and transformative for both countries and represent a new golden era of partnership between the United States and Saudi Arabia,” it added in a statement.

Among the agreements secured on Tuesday: Saudi Arabian DataVolt is moving forward with plans to invest $20 billion in AI data centers and energy infrastructure in the United States.

Google, DataVolt, Oracle, Salesforce, AMD, and Uber are committing to invest $80 billion in cutting-edge transformative technologies in both countries, said the White House.

American companies including Hill International, Jacobs, Parsons, and AECOM are building key infrastructure projects like King Salman International Airport, King Salman Park, The Vault, Qiddiya City, and much more totaling $2 billion in US services exports.

Additional major exports include GE Vernova’s gas turbines and energy solutions totaling $14.2 billion and Boeing 737-8 passenger aircraft for AviLease totaling $4.8 billion.

Investment partnerships include several sector-specific funds with a strong emphasis on US deployment, such as the $5 billion Energy Investment Fund, the $5 billion New Era Aerospace and Defense Technology Fund, and the $4 billion Enfield Sports Global Sports Fund.

Trump had arrived in the Kingdom earlier on Tuesday on his first overseas trip since his reelection. He will next visit the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.

Saudi Arabia and the United States also signed the largest defense sales agreement in history, worth nearly early $142 billion.
