Yesterday, the Center distributed 2,700 food baskets in the Seiyun district of Hadramawt Governorate, as part of its emergency food intervention project covering various Yemeni governorates.

The context of the humanitarian crisis in Yemen
This aid comes at a time when Yemen is experiencing one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, a consequence of the ongoing conflict which has led to a sharp decline in economic and living conditions. Many Yemeni governorates, including Hadramawt, are under immense strain on services and infrastructure, particularly due to waves of internal displacement from conflict zones to more stable areas, making relief interventions an urgent necessity to save lives and alleviate suffering.
The leading role of the King Salman Relief Center
Since its establishment, the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center has prioritized the Yemeni crisis, implementing hundreds of projects across various sectors including food security, health, shelter, water, and sanitation. The Center operates according to precise mechanisms that ensure aid reaches those in need without discrimination, in coordination with local and international partners and United Nations agencies, to guarantee addressing food and medical needs in all regions of Yemen.
The importance and sustainability of Saudi support
The significance of this event extends beyond simply distributing food baskets; it underscores the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's moral and political commitment to its southern neighbor. This support is a cornerstone in maintaining social cohesion in Yemen and preventing more families from falling into extreme poverty. These initiatives embody the deep fraternal ties between the Saudi and Yemeni peoples and the Kingdom's ongoing efforts to support Yemen's stability and development, not only through immediate relief but also through development projects aimed at long-term economic recovery.
