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.

Saudi Arabia Affirms Unwavering Support for Global Humanitarian Efforts

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia affirmed its unwavering commitment to support global humanitarian issues and its contributions to alleviating the suffering of those affected by wars and disasters.

In a statement delivered at the UN Economic and Social Council, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's permanent representative to the United Nations and international organizations in Geneva, Ambassador Abdulmohsen bin Khothaila, indicated that Saudi Arabia, despite global economic challenges, continues its generous approach as one of the largest donor countries in the humanitarian and development fields.

The ambassador explained that humanitarian crises have become exacerbated by the increase in armed conflicts and the decline in adherence to international humanitarian law, emphasizing that addressing the root causes of crises is crucial to alleviating human suffering.

He emphasized that Saudi Arabia's participation in the global initiative launched by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to reaffirm commitment to international humanitarian law, along with its hosting of multiple peace talks between conflicting parties, reflects its strong belief in the importance of dialogue as a means to achieve lasting peace.

Regarding the Palestinian issue, bin Khothaila explained that Saudi Arabia strongly condemned the serious violations and war crimes committed by the Israeli occupation forces against the brotherly Palestinian people. He emphasized that preventing humanitarian aid from entering the Gaza Strip and using it as a tool of war constitutes a flagrant violation of international law. He reiterated Saudi Arabia's call for an immediate and sustainable ceasefire.

The ambassador noted that a peace conference, co-chaired with the French Republic, had been scheduled for June 2025 as part of Saudi Arabia’s efforts within the Global Coalition to advance the two-state solution. However, recent regional developments have led to its postponement.

He emphasized the importance of integrating relief and development in addressing crises, pointing to Saudi Arabia's integrated model through the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) and the Saudi Fund for Development (SFD).
