The Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY) inaugurated Monday an operations and intensive care center in Al-Mahra governorate.

The center will address the governorate’s need for health services for chronic and urgent cases, and facilitate the access of patients to high-quality and efficient medical care.

Attending the opening ceremony, Yemeni Minister of Health and Population Dr. Qassem Buhaibah said the Operations and Intensive Care Center in Al-Ghaydah Hospital will be of great benefit to the citizens of Al-Mahra and the neighboring residential areas.

He commended Saudi Arabia's constant and generous support through the SDRPY.

“We in the health sector consider the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as the first supporter of the health sector”, the Yemeni minister said.

The new center covers an area of 1,000 square meters and is equipped with 134 medical devices, including operation and isolation rooms, and intensive care units furnished with 15 electrocardiograms.

The SDRPY works to improve services in various vital sectors in Yemen, the most important of which are education, health, transportation, water, agriculture and fisheries, capacity building of government institutions, and energy. So far, the SDRPY has implemented more than 198 projects and initiatives across Yemen.

Governor of Al-Mahra Mohammad Ali Yasser and a number of health officials attended the inauguration ceremony.

Saudi Arabia strongly condemned on Wednesday the storming of Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque compound by Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.

The Saudi Foreign Ministry slammed the repeated “flagrant Israeli violations of the sanctity of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.”

It also condemned Israeli forces for attacking an UNRWA clinic in northern Gaza, saying it was another in a series of attacks by Israel against UN and relief agencies.

“The Kingdom condemns the continued Israeli violations of international law and international humanitarian law, underscoring its categorical rejection of everything that may undermine the historic and legal status of Jerusalem and its holy sites,” said the ministry.

It called on the international community to “put a stop to the Israeli war machine that has no regard for any human values or law or international norms.”

It warned that the international community’s failure to deter these dangerous and ongoing violations will undermine opportunities to achieve peace and undermine the credibility of international law, as well as impact regional and global security and stability.
