KSrelief expands healthcare, food support in Yemen

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s aid agency KSrelief recently inaugurated a kidney dialysis unit at Al-Jada Health Center in Yemen’s Hajjah governorate.

The unit will improve healthcare services, ease the suffering of patients with kidney failure, ensure access to sustainable treatment, and reduce financial burdens on families, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, KSrelief distributed 1,000 food baskets to internally displaced persons in Seiyun district, Hadramout governorate, benefiting 7,000 people under the Emergency Food Interventions Project.

KSrelief also signed a cooperation agreement with a Yemeni civil society organization to support small-scale livestock breeders and promote domestic biogas production in Hidaybu district, Socotra governorate, under the “Seed” initiative.

The initiative aims to boost food security and sustainability in rural communities by supporting agriculture and livestock breeders, the SPA reported.

It will provide 150 families in need with essential agricultural inputs and three cows each, install biogas units, and train beneficiaries in their use and maintenance.

In addition, 75 people will receive training in dairy production and 20 in basic veterinary care and disease prevention. A mobile veterinary unit will be equipped and handed over to the authorities, benefiting 1,050 vulnerable individuals.

These initiatives are part of the Kingdom’s humanitarian efforts through KSrelief to support the health, food, and agriculture sectors and ease the suffering of the Yemeni people.
