King Salman Humanitarian Aid & Relief Center (KSrelief) signed, Tuesday, six agreements committing a total of $3 million to implement humanitarian projects in Yemen to treat injured Yemenis and to complete the third and fourth phase of rehabilitation of child soldiers in Yemen.

The project to treat injured Yemenis reached a value of $776k in partnership with Bin Zeela Modern Hospital in Seyyun while the second project totaled $582k in partnership with Saber Hospital in Aden. Projects also included operating artificial parts center with $440k.

Further projects are made to treat eye injuries, in cooperation with Magrabi Hospitals & Centers, and another one with Alemies Hospital.

Some 80 child soldiers are being rehabilitated at various centers and the total cost of the rehabilitation program has reached about $209k. KSRelief has targeted areas such as Maarib province, Al-Jouf, Imran, Sanaa, and Dimaar for the rehabilitation of child soldiers.

During a news conference in Riyadh on Tuesday, Dr. Abdullah Al Rabeeah, Supervisor-General of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid & Relief Center (KSrelief), underpinned the kingdom’s keenness on alleviating the agony of Yemeni people. He added that the center supports seven private hospitals in Yemen, noting that the psychological shock of child soldiers is huge but the center is seeking to rehabilitate them.

“Saudi Arabia doesn’t differentiate in delivering aid among Yemeni regions,” he said. Rabeeah responded to claims made by Human Rights Watch, saying that if the organization is accusing Ksrelief then it is as well accusing the United Nations because one third of the center’s programs are implemented in partnership with the UN.

For his part, Saudi Ambassador to Yemen Mohammed Al-Jabir stated that the signed agreements are in furtherance of the Yemen Comprehensive Humanitarian Operations (YCHO), launched on January 22nd. He added that the number of crossings that permit access of aid has increased, up to 22.

Saudi Arabia reiterated on Monday its unwavering support for the unity, security, and stability of Sudan, stressing the need to preserve its legitimate state institutions.

The Kingdom demanded that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) immediately cease their violations and adhere to their moral and humanitarian obligations. This includes ensuring the delivery of relief aid to those in need, in line with international humanitarian law and the Jeddah Declaration to Protect Civilians in Sudan, signed on May 11, 2023.

Saudi Arabia delivered its statement during the interactive dialogue on the High Commissioner for Human Rights' oral briefing regarding the situation in and around El-Fasher. The Kingdom's Permanent Mission to the United Nations and other international organizations in Geneva participated in the session.

Delivering the statement, Permanent Representative Ambassador Abdulmohsen bin Khothaila reiterated the Kingdom's "strong condemnation of the grave human rights violations committed during the RSF's attacks on El-Fasher."

He specifically highlighted "recent criminal attacks on health facilities, relief convoys, and civilian infrastructure, which have resulted in the deaths of dozens of displaced persons and unarmed civilians, including women and children."

Saudi Arabia's King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) inaugurated on Monday the women's and maternity clinic at Al-Awda Hospital in central Gaza.

Implemented in cooperation with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the project marks the completion of restoration and rehabilitation work following extensive damage sustained during the conflict with Israel, which had forced the facility to close.

The clinic's rehabilitation is part of a broader initiative to ensure access to essential services and promote maternal and newborn health among the affected population in Gaza.

The project targets the rehabilitation and support of women's and maternity departments in three major hospitals: Friends of the Patient Hospital, Al-Khair Hospital, and Al-Awda Hospital. It aims to improve the quality of reproductive health services and ensure pregnant and lactating women have access to safe healthcare.

The initiative is part of Saudi Arabia's ongoing efforts, through KSrelief, to ease the suffering of the Palestinian people and provide essential services amid the significant challenges facing the health sector in Gaza.
