RIYADH: The efforts of Saudi Arabia’s King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSRelief) to serve the international community continues with aid and relief activities in recipient countries.
In the Marib governorate of Yemen, KSRelief distributed more than 96 tons of food baskets for families that could benefit 5,400 people as part of the center’s food security program for the conflict-hit country this year.
KSRelief aims to distribute more than 192,000 food baskets weighing more than 20,000 tons to the needy and affected families in 15 Yemeni governorates.
In Indonesia, KSRelief has launched the second and third volunteer program for over 300 low-income individuals who would be trained with professional and livelihood skills including sewing and embroidery, mobile phone maintenance, first aid as well as rescue, traffic accident injuries and disaster management.
In Tanzania, KSRelief’s continuing cardiac surgeries and catheterization project there deployed a team of medical volunteers that examined 173 individuals and successfully performed 21 open-heart surgeries and 30 catheterization surgeries. The patients mostly came from low-income families unable to afford the costly medical procedures.

These farms produce nearly 550 million roses annually, all harvested during a brief season of no more than 45 days, from early March to the end of April.
This harvest yields around 20,000 tolas of Taif rose oil. Producing a single tola requires approximately 12,000 roses, which are picked manually at dawn and distilled within 24 hours to preserve the purity and quality of the scent before reaching the market.
