RYADH: A new humanitarian grant was signed Wednesday to build critical road infrastructure that will link the north and south of Yemen.
The Saudi Arabian ambassador to Yemen, Mohammed Al-Jaber, and Maeen Abdul Malik, Yemeni minister of Public Works, signed the grant with the Yemen Comprehensive Humanitarian Operations (YCHO).
“The cost of this YCHO project will be $5 million and is expected to be completed in 60 days,” said Al-Jaber.
“The project will start in a few weeks; the road will be of high quality, as it is the first infrastructure project in Yemen commissioned by the YCHO.
“This initiative will create 15,000 new job opportunities for the people of Yemen and it will link comprehensive humanitarian relief efforts from north to south,” said the ambassador.
“The importance of the road lies in its linkage from Aden to Dhamar, Dali, Lahj, Taaz, Ibb and Al-Bayda. Transportation and connectivity will flourish once constructed,” Malik said.

RIYADH: Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman received 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry winner Professor Omar Yaghi in Riyadh on Wednesday.
The crown prince congratulated Yaghi on receiving the prize and wished him continued success, Saudi Press Agency reported.
The professor was awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, sharing it with Richard Robson of the University of Melbourne, Australia, and Susumu Kitagawa of Kyoto University, Japan.
The scientists were cited for creating “molecular constructions with large spaces through which gases and other chemicals can flow. These constructions, metal-organic frameworks, can be used to harvest water from desert air, capture carbon dioxide, store toxic gases or catalyze chemical reactions.”
Yaghi expressed his gratitude to the crown prince for the meeting and the support he has received in his work.
