KSrelief Delivers Humanitarian Aid Projects in Yemen, Lebanon

King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has continued the implementation of the water and environmental sanitation project in Yemeni directorates of Hajjah and Saada governorates.

The project has been implemented in the districts of Midi, Hayran, Harad, and Abs in Hajjah and Al-Azhor camp in Saada’s Razih district.

In Hajjah, 692,000 liters of potable water and 8.09 million liters of usable water were pumped from April 12 to 18. Meanwhile, 30,100 individuals in Saada have benefited from the delivery of 70,000 liters of potable water and 70,000 liters of usable water to the governorate.

The Riyadh-based center has also continued its project of enhancing the healthcare services provided to the Syrian refugees and the host community in the town of Arsal in the Lebanese governorate of Baalbek.

In March 2023, Arsal Healthcare Center provided 11,663 services to 5,935 patients in the departments of clinics, pharmacy, laboratory, and nursing as well as through the community and psychological health program.

Males constituted 43 percent of the patients who received healthcare in the center, while females represented 57 percent of beneficiaries.

Also, 60 percent of the beneficiaries were refugees and 40 percent of them were residents.

The aid comes within the framework of the keenness of the Kingdom, represented by KSrelief, to provide humanitarian aid for the needy and Syrian refugees in all fields to alleviate their suffering amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis.

Iran's Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani, who travelled to Lebanon after the killing last month of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli airstrike, has not been heard from since strikes on Beirut late last week, two senior Iranian security officials told Reuters.

One of the officials said Qaani was in Beirut's southern suburbs, known as the Dahiyeh, during a strike on Thursday that was reported to have targeted senior Hezbollah official Hashem Safieddine but the official said he was not meeting Safieddine.

The official said Iran and Hezbollah had not been able to contact Qaani since then.

Israel has been hitting multiple targets in Dahiyeh as it pursues a campaign against Iran-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah.

The second official also said Qaani had travelled to Lebanon after the killing of Nasrallah and the Iranian authorities had not been able to contact him since the strike against Safieddine, who was widely expected to be the next Hezbollah chief.

Hezbollah has made no comment so far on Safieddine.
The Quds Force, the overseas arm of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, oversees dealings with militias allied with Tehran across the Middle East, such as Hezbollah.

Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan was killed with Nasrallah in his bunker when it was hit on Sept. 27 by Israeli bombs.
