The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) signed on Monday a memorandum of cooperation with the Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY) to implement volunteer programs and initiatives in Yemen.

The memorandum was signed by KSrelief Assistant Supervisor General for Planning and Development Dr. Aqeel bin Jamaan Al-Ghamdi and SPDRY Assistant Supervisor General Eng. Hassan Al-Attas at the center in Riyadh.

It is part of the humanitarian and relief projects carried out by Saudi Arabia, through KSrelief, to help the brotherly Yemeni people achieve security, stability and development.

Earlier, the Saudi Press Agency reported that KSrelief’s Masam Project, dedicated to clearing mines in Yemen, successfully dismantled 826 mines in the third week of December 2023.

The tally includes five anti-personnel mines, 116 anti-tank mines, 681 unexploded ordnance, and one explosive device.  

A total of 426,090 mines have been dismantled since the project’s inception.  

Saudi Arabia, represented by KSrelief, aims to clear Yemeni territories of all mines, which have caused the death and injury of innocent children, women, and the elderly.

Secretary-General of the League of Arab States Ahmed Aboul Gheit condemned the decision by the Israeli occupation’s ministerial committee to approve the establishment of 19 new settlements in the occupied West Bank, considering it a blatant challenge to the international will rejecting settlement activity and a violation of international law, which affirms the illegitimacy of settlements.

In a statement issued Monday, the secretary-general said the continued expansion of illegal settlement activity aims to prevent the establishment of a geographically contiguous Palestinian state and reflects the nature of the Israeli government, which he said is controlled by extremists and settlers, SPA reported.

Aboul Gheit stressed that settlement expansion will not make it legitimate under any circumstances.

 

He highlighted that the violence practiced by extremist settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank constitutes a form of terrorism carried out under the watch and with the protection of the official institutions of the occupying power.
