Saudi Arabia’s King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) signed on Thursday a cooperation agreement with a civil-society organization, valued at SAR 5.625 million, to implement the second phase of a project addressing the local capacity development needs for educating illiterate students and those with disabilities in Yemen.

The project will be carried out in the governorates of Aden, Lahij, Al-Dhale, Shabwa, Hadhramaut, and Al-Mahra, benefiting a total of 8,975 individuals.

The agreement was signed by KSrelief Assistant Supervisor General of Operations and Programs Eng. Ahmed Al-Baiz.

The project aims to build the institutional capacities of centers and public schools working in the fields of protection, care, and rehabilitation of people with disabilities, as well as literacy schools.

It seeks to boost the educational infrastructure, supporting the outcomes of education for people with disabilities and literacy students.

The project is part of Saudi Arabia's ongoing efforts, through KSrelief, to help address the key challenges faced by educational institutions in caring for children with disabilities and combating illiteracy, which hinder their integration into Yemeni society.

Kuwait issued seven new decrees on Saturday, revoking the Kuwaiti nationality of 1,145 women and 13 men, along with any individuals who may have acquired citizenship through affiliation.
The decrees, which are set to be published in the official Kuwaiti gazette on Sunday, stated that the decision followed a review of the Constitution, the Kuwaiti Nationality Law, and the recommendation of the First Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister.
The decrees include the revocation of Kuwaiti nationality from 1,145 women, as well as individuals who may have acquired it through affiliation.
Additionally, the citizenship of certain individuals was rescinded under Article 21 of the Nationality Law, which permits the withdrawal of nationality if it was granted based on fraud, false statements, or incorrect documentation.
Under Kuwaiti law, the cabinet, acting on a proposal from the Interior Minister, has the authority to revoke citizenship in such cases. This also applies to individuals who acquired Kuwaiti nationality through affiliation with the original certificate holder.
Last Thursday, the Supreme Committee for Citizenship Affairs convened a meeting, chaired by the Acting Prime Minister, Minister of Defense, and Minister of Interior, Sheikh Fahad Yousef Saud Al-Sabah, who also serves as the committee's chairman.

The committee decided to revoke and annul the Kuwaiti citizenship of 1,647 individuals, with plans to present their cases to the Cabinet for further review.
This brings the total number of cases to 4,601 since October 31, a span of just three weeks.
The Committee began its work in early March, when Kuwaiti authorities launched a campaign to revoke citizenships for various reasons, primarily linked to fraud.
The Kuwaiti government states that the revocation of citizenship from forgers and dual nationals is intended to "preserve national identity, ensure stability, and protect the national fabric," as well as to remove the records of individuals who obtained citizenship through illegal means.
