The project will be completed within six months.
Dr. Al Rabeeah affirmed in a press statement that Kingdom has reached a pioneering role in global relief and humanitarian work. Throughout its history, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has extended the hand of support to brotherly and friendly countries based on its belief in the importance of humanitarian work. Dr. Al Rabeeah stated that the Yemeni people's humanitarian needs are a priority for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and that the Kingdom is the largest supporter and financier of humanitarian response plans for Yemen.
