RIYADH: The Saudi aid agency KSrelief has dispatched a relief convoy to the wadi and desert districts of Yemen’s Hadramout governorate, providing tents and shelter kits.

These supplies will be stored as a strategic stockpile in local warehouses, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday.

Field distribution teams will deploy the aid as needed, following precise mechanisms to ensure it reaches those in need, the SPA added.

Meanwhile, KSrelief has continued distributing over 27,000 food baskets to the most vulnerable families in Hadramout’s desert areas, benefiting 190,400 individuals.

The agency has also delivered 4,170 winter clothing sets to vulnerable families as part of its clothing distribution project which aims to protect residents from severe cold, improve living conditions, and alleviate winter hardships.

Since its establishment in 2015, KSrelief has implemented 1,178 projects in Yemen at a total cost of about $4.7 billion. This aid has helped in the areas of food security, early recovery, water, sanitation and hygiene, health, camp coordination, education, protection, emergency aid, and nutrition.
