Saudi Minister of Health Fahd bin Abdurrahman Al-Jalajel carried out on Tuesday several comprehensive inspection tours to review health system services at the holy sites in Makkah ahead of the Hajj.

He visited the Makkah Health Cluster, healthcare facilities in Arafat and Mina in Makkah, and the headquarters of the Saudi Red Crescent Authority.

The tours were made to make sure that the pilgrims will receive the best services during their holy journey.

The minister inaugurated the National Center for Health Crisis and Disaster Management in the holy sites and inspected health facilities at the Mina Al-Wadi Hospital, Mina Emergency Hospital and several private sector facilities.

The minister's visit reflects the great attention given by the government of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to serving pilgrims to the fullest extent.

It also aligns with the objectives of the Health Sector Transformation Program and Saudi Vision 2030.

Yemeni Prime Minister Dr. Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak held on Wednesday two meetings in Riyadh: the first, with the new commander of the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen, revolved around military affairs, while the second focused on humanitarian efforts and priorities with the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center.

According to official Saudi sources, the Yemeni premier met with Lt. Gen. Fahd Al-Salman, Commander of the Joint Forces, with whom he discussed the ongoing coordination and continued support from the coalition countries, led by Saudi Arabia, to achieve security and stability for the Yemeni people and support the legitimate government.

Separately, a meeting was held at the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center to review joint coordination in implementing programs and plans.

Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah, Advisor to the Saudi Royal Court and General Supervisor of the center, emphasized the center's commitment to alleviating the suffering of the needy, displaced, and affected populations in Yemen, stressing that these efforts reflect Saudi Arabia's noble humanitarian mission, led by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Crown Prince.

Bin Mubarak was also briefed on the total humanitarian aid provided by Saudi Arabia from 1996 to 2024, which has been extended to 171 countries at a value of over $132 billion, with $27 billion specifically allocated to Yemen. In 2014, Saudi Arabia’s official development aid amounted to 1.9% of its GDP, far exceeding the UN's target of 0.7%.

The meeting also highlighted the center’s efforts, which include 3,068 projects across 102 countries, valued at over $7 billion. Of these, 976 humanitarian projects were designated for Yemen, valued at over $4 billion, covering various key sectors. This includes 479 projects for women and 478 for children.
