The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) launched a food basket project for 2024 in Al-Shihr District of Yemen's Hadramout governorate.
The project coincides with the upcoming holy month of Ramadan and aims to distribute food aid to 4,240 needy families in the area.
The initiative is part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's humanitarian and relief projects, which KSrelief provides to assist countries in need and ensure food security for their citizens.

The Saudi center also continued implementing Al-Amal Charitable Bakery project in the fourth stage in Akkar Governorate and Al-Minieh District in Lebanon.
The project distributed, during the last week, 25,000 bags of bread to needy families of Syrians, Palestinians and the host community living in northern Lebanon, benefiting 125,000 individuals.
This project comes within the efforts made by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, through KSrelief, to help refugees in various locations.

Qatar will reopen its embassy in Syria on Tuesday after it was closed for more than 13 years, the Gulf country's foreign ministry said on Sunday, a week after Bashar al-Assad was removed from power.

Qatar's embassy in Damascus has been shut since July 2011 when it withdrew its ambassador from Damascus after a series of deadly crackdowns by Assad's regime on protesters - violence that led to the 13-year-long civil war.

Doha in recent years did not join efforts by several Arab countries to mend relations with Assad's government and re-establish diplomatic relations with Damascus.

A lightning advance by the opposition, led by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group led to the ouster of Assad on Dec. 8.

Qatar's foreign ministry said in a statement its decision to reopen the embassy reflects its support for the Syrian people and their "struggle to attain their legitimate rights for a dignified life".
