RIYADH: KSrelief has signed an agreement with a civil society organization to implement the water and sanitation project in Yemen’s Hajjah governorate, benefiting 30,422 people with $1.1 million in funding.
The project includes drilling and rehabilitating solar-powered wells, installing pumping networks, building and restoring tanks, and setting up water desalination plants.
The project will also facilitate the transportation and distribution of water by trucks, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
Ahmed Al-Baiz, assistant supervisor general of operations and programs at KSrelief, signed the deal in Riyadh.
Meanwhile, Saudi aid convoys carrying 4,494 shelter kits arrived in northern Gaza to support residents and displaced families, the SPA reported.
The kits include blankets, mattresses, cooking utensils and water containers to help families cope with the harsh conditions.
The Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage, KSrelief’s executive partner in Gaza, will begin immediate distribution to alleviate suffering amid severe cold and the ongoing siege.
