King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief) signed on Thursday, three joint programs with UN organizations: the World Food Programme (WFP), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNCHR), the Saudi Press Agency reported.
KSrelief is providing funding for the programs as part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s contribution to the 2020 High-Level Pledging Event for Yemen, which was hosted virtually in Riyadh in June of this year.
Dr. Abdullah Al Rabeeah affirmed the Kingdom’s pioneering role in the field of global relief and humanitarian work, adding that Saudi Arabia has always sought to stand with people in need, especially in Yemen.
For the past several years, the Kingdom has been the largest supporter and financial contributor to humanitarian response plans in Yemen, he pointed out, stressing that Saudi Arabia’s ongoing, impartial support had helped the United Nations and its agencies save and improve the lives of millions of needy people in Yemen.
Dr. Al Rabeeah concluded his remarks by stating that the programs signed today with these three UN agencies would contribute significantly to supporting the medical, food and WASH sectors and would help to provide vital services to Yemeni IDPs and others living under extremely challenging circumstances
