RIYADH: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center signed an agreement on Thursday with the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, committing $9 million to support the Yemen Humanitarian Fund.

The fund is an OCHA-managed country-based pooled fund operating under the leadership of the UN Humanitarian Coordinator. It makes funding directly available to humanitarian partners operating in Yemen, enabling them to deliver assistance to people who need it most.

The agreement aims to continue to respond to the urgent needs outlined in the Yemen Humanitarian Response Plan and support the participation and integration of women-led organzations into the governance of the fund.

It also aims to support capacity-building for non-governmental organizations and leverage regional partners for better coverage.

The collaboration underscored KSrelief’s commitment to humanitarian aid around the world, the aid organization said on X.
