The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has extended the contract for implementing the project to clear mines in Yemen (Masam) for one year at a cost of just over $30 million (30,494,922). The project, implemented by Saudi cadres and international experts, envisages the removal of mines in all their forms. These mines over the years have been randomly planted by the Houthi militias in Yemeni regions of Marib, Aden, Sanaa, and Taiz. The Advisor at the Royal Court and the Supervisor General of King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) Dr. Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz Al Rabeeah said in a press statement that the renewal of this contract emanates from the center's humanitarian responsibility towards the Yemeni people. The extension was agreed upon as this qualitative project is extremely important in completing the clearing of mines in Yemeni regions. These mines, manufactured by Houthi militias in an unprecedented and random manner and in various forms, targets civilians, causing permanent injuries, chronic disabilities, and numerous human losses among women, children, and the elderly. Dr. Al Rabeeah stressed that this Saudi humanitarian and the vital demining project will serve Yemeni citizens and guarantee them current safety and future security. He added that the project is one of several projects and initiatives presented by Saudi Arabia, upon the directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman and Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman, with the aim of alleviating the sufferings of the Yemeni people in all regions and governorates. He expressed thanks to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman and Crown Prince Muhammad for their great humanitarian and relief efforts in many countries of the world and in Yemen in particular. — SPA
