King Salman Center distributes 1,000 food baskets in Hadramawt to support 7,000 beneficiaries
As part of the ongoing humanitarian efforts by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to support the brotherly Yemeni people, the King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Aid distributed 1,000 food baskets designated for the most needy families and displaced people in the Shuhuh area of Seiyun District in Hadramawt Governorate.
This urgent aid is part of the "Emergency Food Interventions" project implemented by the center in various Yemeni governorates. This particular distribution benefited 7,000 individuals from affected groups. The project aims to bridge the food gap and provide basic necessities for families suffering from difficult economic conditions due to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the country.
The importance of the emergency food intervention project
The emergency food intervention project is a cornerstone of the humanitarian response plan adopted by the Kingdom through its humanitarian arm, the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center. The project focuses on reaching areas hosting large numbers of internally displaced persons, such as Hadramawt Governorate, which serves as a safe haven for thousands of families fleeing conflict zones. The distributed food baskets contain essential items sufficient for a family for a specific period, thus contributing to enhanced food security and mitigating the risk of famine.
The Kingdom's leading role in humanitarian work
Since its establishment in 2015, the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center has given the Yemeni crisis top priority, with statistics and international reports indicating that Saudi Arabia is the leading donor to Yemen. Aid has not been limited to food assistance alone, but has also encompassed the health, shelter, water, sanitation, and education sectors, in addition to demining programs and community rehabilitation projects.
Alleviating human suffering
This distribution comes at a time when Yemen is facing increasing economic challenges and soaring prices for basic commodities, making this aid a lifeline for many families. This initiative reflects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's unwavering commitment to standing with the Yemeni people in their time of need and working to alleviate their humanitarian suffering in every way possible, reaffirming the bonds of brotherhood and neighborliness that unite the two sisterly nations.
