The fourth batch of the Saudi oil derivatives grant, consisting of 150,000 tons of diesel and 100,000 metric tons of mazut, arrived at Yemen's interim capital Aden on Sunday.

This initiative is part of Saudi Arabia's ongoing efforts to support the Yemeni people, in response to a request by the government to help provide oil derivatives to operate over 70 power generation plants across the war-torn country.

The directive to provide the grant was issued by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister.

The grant is a testament to the Kingdom's commitment to achieving security, stability, and development for the Yemeni people and is an extension of previous grants amounting to USD 4.2 billion.

The Saudi oil derivatives grant is part of the Saudi Program for the Development and Reconstruction of Yemen (SDRPY), which has implemented 229 development projects and initiatives across Yemen to serve the people in seven main sectors, including education, health, water, energy, transport, agriculture, and fishery.

It also aims to build the capacity of government institutions and implement other development programs.

Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Albudaiwi has expressed his condemnation regarding the targeting of a World Food Program (WFP) aid convoy in the North Kordofan State in Sudan.

He characterized this assault as a grave violation of international humanitarian law and an unacceptable transgression of the rules and norms that safeguard humanitarian operations, SPA reported.

"The targeting of relief convoys and humanitarian workers is a reprehensible act that obstructs the delivery of vital assistance to those affected," he said, adding that such actions exacerbate the suffering of civilians, particularly given the dire humanitarian conditions currently prevailing in Sudan.

Albudaiwi also referenced the statement of the GCC Supreme Council’s 46th Session, which reaffirmed support for peace-building efforts aimed at preserving Sudan’s security, stability, and sovereignty.

The statement also underscored the commitment to political efforts to reach a ceasefire and achieve a political transition in Sudan through the establishment of an independent civilian government, fulfilling the Sudanese people’s aspirations for peace, growth, and stability.
