Britain's foreign secretary said on Wednesday that his country, along with France and Algeria, had called an urgent meeting at the United Nations Security Council to discuss the humanitarian situation in Gaza, Reuters reported.

David Lammy said in a statement Israel must ensure civilians were protected and routes were open to allow life-saving aid through, and that the United Nations meeting would address these issues.

"The humanitarian situation in Northern Gaza is dire, with access to basic services worsening and the United Nations reporting that barely any food has entered in the last two weeks," Lammy added.

The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center’s (KSrelief) Masam Project, dedicated to clearing mines in Yemen, dismantled 630 mines in various regions during the second week of October 2024.

These included three anti-personnel mines, 28 anti-tank mines, one explosive device, and 598 unexploded ordnance, SPA reported.

Since the project's inception, a total of 465,882 mines have been cleared.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia remains steadfast in its commitment to removing all mines from Yemeni lands, a menace that has tragically caused the loss of lives and injuries to innocent people.
