The context of the humanitarian crisis and the importance of mobile clinics
This aid comes at a time when Yemen’s health sector is suffering a severe decline as a result of years of conflict, which has led to the closure of many health facilities, particularly in remote and border areas such as Hajjah Governorate. Mobile clinics are considered a strategic solution for reaching population centers in villages and isolated areas that lack permanent hospitals, providing a lifeline for patients who face difficulties traveling to access treatment.
The Kingdom's leading role in humanitarian work
The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center is the humanitarian arm of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Since its establishment, it has consistently provided comprehensive support to Yemen in the health, food, and shelter sectors. These efforts are of regional and international importance, contributing to enhanced health security in the region by containing epidemic diseases before they spread and alleviating the burden on Yemeni families facing dire economic conditions. These figures and ongoing services underscore the Kingdom's commitment to prioritizing humanitarian aid, striving to achieve stability and provide a dignified life for its brothers and sisters in Yemen.
