The World Health Organization thanks Saudi Arabia for distributing aid in Hadramawt
The World Health Organization (WHO) has officially thanked the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for its tireless efforts in facilitating the entry of humanitarian and medical aid into Yemen, emphasizing that these steps directly contribute to saving lives and alleviating the suffering of the Yemeni people. This praise was expressed in statements to the media, where the organization explained that the Kingdom is among the largest donors and supporters of humanitarian work in Yemen, reflecting its moral and humanitarian commitment to its neighbors.
Ongoing Saudi support through the King Salman Center
In a related development concerning field support, the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center continues to implement its ambitious relief programs. As part of its emergency food intervention project, the Center successfully distributed over 27,000 food baskets targeting the most vulnerable and needy families in the Wadi and Desert districts of Hadramawt Governorate. This aid is part of a comprehensive and organized humanitarian plan aimed at ensuring that food reaches those who need it, in accordance with precise and internationally recognized mechanisms.
The importance of aid in light of the humanitarian crisis
This aid is of paramount importance given the broader context of the Yemeni crisis, which UN reports indicate is one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. Millions of Yemenis, particularly internally displaced persons, suffer from food insecurity and limited access to basic healthcare. This underscores the pivotal role of Saudi support, not only in providing food but also in facilitating the logistical passage of aid convoys through various entry points. The World Health Organization has expressed its deep appreciation for this support, emphasizing that protecting aid workers and facilitating their work is a shared international responsibility.
The impact of humanitarian interventions on regional stability
The importance of these efforts extends beyond immediate relief to include strengthening social stability in liberated areas. The food basket distribution project in Hadramawt, benefiting approximately 190,400 individuals, helps alleviate economic pressure on families and reduces the risk of famine and malnutrition, which in turn can lead to outbreaks of disease and epidemics. The integration of food aid provided by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center with health support overseen by the World Health Organization represents a vital lifeline for the Yemeni people during this critical period.
