KSrelief provides toolkits and emergency shelter aid to Yemenis in Hadhramaut

  • The work was carried out on Wednesday, the SPA report said

DUBAI: Saudi Arabian aid agency KSrelief has carried out two separate aid operations in Yemen’s Hadhramaut governorate, expanding its humanitarian aid mission in the region, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Friday.

In Al-Mukalla district, in southeastern Yemen, KSrelief distributed vocational toolkits to 381 young men and women who recently completed training under a joint initiative with the UN World Food Programme.

The initiative aims to enhance income opportunities for vulnerable families through practical training in fields such as solar and electrical installation, vehicle and boat maintenance, dairy and soap production, fish canning, and perfume and accessory making.

Hadhramaut Governorate Undersecretary for Technical Affairs Amin Barzeq attended the distribution and praised Saudi Arabia’s support.

Separately, KSrelief distributed 200 tents and shelter bags to families affected by recent flooding in the Hadhramaut Valley. The aid marked the first phase of an emergency shelter project launched in response to the disaster.

The work was carried out on Wednesday, the SPA report said.

ZATCA thwarts massive captagon smuggling attempt at Al-Haditha border

  • Following the seizure, ZATCA coordinated with the General Directorate of Narcotics Control, leading to the arrest of two individuals

RIYADH: The Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority at the Al-Haditha border crossing intercepted an attempt to smuggle 269,411 captagon pills hidden in a commercial food consignment during a routine inspection.

The authority thwarted the attempt to smuggle the contraband using advanced security technologies, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

Following the seizure, ZATCA coordinated with the General Directorate of Narcotics Control, leading to the arrest of two individuals intended to receive the shipment in the Kingdom.

ZATCA spokesperson Hamoud Al-Harbi reaffirmed the authority’s commitment to tightening border security as a core strategic pillar to protect society from the prohibited goods.

The authority encourages the public to support national security by reporting smuggling activities via the confidential number 1910 or email at [email protected].

Through these channels, the authority receives information related to smuggling crimes and violations of the Unified Customs Law with complete confidentiality, and a financial reward is granted to those providing the tip-off if the information is accurate.
