The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has continued to implement a project in Yemen’s Aden Governorate to improve school health services and manage malnutrition cases for students and educational staff.

The services included 11,417 various medical examinations for up to 11,908 beneficiaries in addition to 201 psychological sessions to 10,300 individuals, as well as 316 social support sessions to 10,532 cases, and 571 nutrition examinations.

The mobile clinics inside schools include a general physician, a nurse, a psychiatrist, and a social assistant in addition to advanced medical equipment and medicines for free, she added.

She expressed gratitude to Saudi Arabia represented by the Center for its generous efforts in Aden and other Yemeni governorates.

Kuwait's foreign ministry issued on Sunday a circular indicating that it had listed eight hospitals in Lebanon as part of regulations related to "combating terrorism.”

Lebanon's health ministry expressed surprise and said it would seek clarification.

It said it received the Kuwaiti statement "with great surprise", adding it had not been provided with "any information or notification from any Kuwaiti entity about this matter.”

"The hospitals mentioned in the statement are registered with the syndicate of private hospitals in Lebanon and carry out their role in providing treatment and health services to all Lebanese without exception," the ministry statement said.

It called the facilities "an essential part of the Lebanese health system,” and said it would contact the relevant authorities to request clarification and "protect Lebanon's health system.”

It noted that "Kuwait has numerous joint projects with the ministry... and has been among the most prominent countries that have stood by the health system during the successive crises that Lebanon has faced.”

The latest move was "unprecedented and inconsistent" with the Gulf country's usual approach, it added.
