Saudi Arabia Reiterates Support for Yemeni People

The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief) in Yemen provided about $4 billion-worth assistance distributed through more than 625 projects and programs covering various vital sectors.

Advisor at the Royal Court and General Supervisor of KSRelief Abdullah al-Rabeeah met with Yemeni Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism Muammar al-Eryani at the center's headquarters in Riyadh.

Rabeeah affirmed that the center would continue to provide humanitarian and relief support for the Yemeni people in implementation of the directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense.

The Advisor reviewed the relief and humanitarian projects provided by the Kingdom to Yemen through KSrelief, which are 625 projects worth $3,914,815,000, including health, education, food security, water, environmental sanitation, shelter, protection sectors.

Eryani said they discussed the humanitarian situation in Marib and the essential and urgent humanitarian needs of the displaced persons, especially after the terrorist attacks of the Houthi militia.

The Yemeni Minister lauded the center's urgent response to the humanitarian appeal of families in Juba district in Marib, who were forced to flee their homes due to the Houthi militia's aggression on their village.

KSrelief provided shelter and food materials to these families as part of the urgent response to help the Yemeni people in crisis.

He said that the Houthi militia had displaced over 16,000 families from their homes during the past weeks in Abdiya, Juba, and Harib, south of Marib.

The Minister expressed his thanks and appreciation to King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for all the sincere, noble, and fraternal efforts provided by Saudi Arabia to the Yemeni people either directly or through its support for the international organizations working there.

Eryani stressed that hadn't it been for the exceptional efforts and sincere fraternal stances of Saudi Arabia, the situation would have had unimaginable consequences.

He relayed the gratitude and appreciation of President Abdrabbu Mansour Hadi, the Yemeni government, and the Yemeni people.

According to the Minister, the Yemenis feel the world has turned a blind eye to the Houthi massacres and has not taken any deterrent measures to stop the war crimes.

He called on the UN and the international community to launch the procedures for classifying the Houthi militia as a terrorist group and prosecuting its leaders in the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Bringing together representatives from Fiqh academies, organizations, councils, and religious committees, along with a distinguished assembly of muftis and senior scholars from various schools of thought and sects across the Islamic world, the Scholars’ Session reaffirmed the enduring consensus in Islam—both historically and contemporarily—on the legitimate right of women to education.

The exclusive Scholars’ Session, part of the “Girls’ Education in Muslim Communities” initiative, was held in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, under the leadership of Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa, Secretary-General of the Muslim World League and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars.

At the conclusion of the extensive scholarly dialogue, which lasted several hours, all participants unanimously affirmed—with enlightened judgment—the Islamic consensus, both historically and contemporarily, on the legitimate right of women to education.

This consensus is based on the comprehensive Islamic texts concerning the matter, affirming that women possess the same rights as their male counterparts to education at any age, level, or field of study, provided it aligns with Islamic teachings.

The discussion underscored that this right is rooted in the fundamental Islamic obligation of seeking knowledge, which applies equally to both genders, in accordance with Islamic teachings.

The dialogue included a thorough refutation of all misconceptions surrounding women's education, whether these were complete or partial. Participants emphasized that their religious declaration is intended for all individuals, institutions, and both public and private entities across the Islamic world and minority communities, adhering to the appropriate Islamic methodology for such declarations.

The scholars’ statements praised the comprehensive principles related to the legitimate empowerment of women in general, and their education in particular, as outlined in the Charter of Makkah and the Charter of Building Bridges between Islamic Schools of Thought and Sects.

Both international conferences, which issued these charters, were supported by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz.
