RIYADH: The Kingdom on Tuesday distributed snacks to thousands of displaced schoolchildren and refugees in various parts of Yemen.
The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief) distributed the snacks in 24 public schools, literacy schools, orphanages and refugee camps.
“The assistance is being provided to alleviate the suffering of unfortunate victims, under the guidance of the Kingdom’s leadership,” a KSRelief official said.
On behalf of the students, the principals of the schools that received the snacks thanked the Saudi government and King Salman for their magnanimity.
One principal said the gesture reflects the solidarity between the Yemeni and Saudi peoples, and KSRelief’s role is very important to the displaced students.
The center has so far implemented 139 projects at a cost of SR2.3 billion ($613.8 million) across Yemen, including emergency food relief, medical supplies, disease-prevention, reducing child mortality, agricultural development and improving water supplies.
KSRelief has also provided support for Yemeni refugees in Djibouti and Somalia, supported by both countries’ governments, and in coordination with national and international agencies.

ZATCA thwarts massive captagon smuggling attempt at Al-Haditha border
- Following the seizure, ZATCA coordinated with the General Directorate of Narcotics Control, leading to the arrest of two individuals
RIYADH: The Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority at the Al-Haditha border crossing intercepted an attempt to smuggle 269,411 captagon pills hidden in a commercial food consignment during a routine inspection.
The authority thwarted the attempt to smuggle the contraband using advanced security technologies, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
Following the seizure, ZATCA coordinated with the General Directorate of Narcotics Control, leading to the arrest of two individuals intended to receive the shipment in the Kingdom.
ZATCA spokesperson Hamoud Al-Harbi reaffirmed the authority’s commitment to tightening border security as a core strategic pillar to protect society from the prohibited goods.
The authority encourages the public to support national security by reporting smuggling activities via the confidential number 1910 or email at [email protected].
Through these channels, the authority receives information related to smuggling crimes and violations of the Unified Customs Law with complete confidentiality, and a financial reward is granted to those providing the tip-off if the information is accurate.
