King Salman Relief Clinics treat 71 displaced people in Hajjah, Yemen
The mobile medical clinic of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center continued providing its comprehensive medical and healthcare services at the Al-Walan camp for internally displaced persons in Haradh District, Hajjah Governorate, Yemen. This initiative is part of the ongoing humanitarian efforts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to alleviate the suffering of the Yemeni people and ensure access to essential medical services for the most vulnerable groups in affected areas.
Details of medical services provided
According to official statistics for the period from December 10 to 16, 2025, 71 beneficiaries visited the clinics and received various medical services. The cases were distributed across several specialized departments. The infectious disease control clinic received 24 patients, reflecting the strong focus on preventing infectious diseases in displacement settings. The emergency clinic received 10 critical cases, the internal medicine clinic saw 21 beneficiaries, and the reproductive health clinic treated 3 women.
As part of the support and awareness services, 13 people benefited from the awareness and education department, a key component in raising health awareness among displaced persons. Regarding accompanying services, the nursing services department provided care to 58 patients and dispensed necessary medications to 58 patients, in addition to receiving one patient at the surgery and dressing clinic. As part of maintaining a healthy environment in the camp, two medical waste disposal activities were carried out.
The humanitarian context and the importance of intervention in Hajjah
These medical services are of paramount strategic importance given the dire humanitarian situation in Hajjah Governorate, one of the Yemeni governorates most affected by the conflict and hosting a large number of internally displaced persons. The health sector in Yemen in general, and particularly in border and remote areas, faces immense challenges as a result of years of conflict, leading to the closure of many health facilities. Mobile clinics serve as a vital lifeline for thousands of families who lack access to central hospitals, helping to bridge the significant gap in healthcare services.
The leading role of the King Salman Relief Center
Since its establishment in 2015, the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center has prioritized the Yemeni crisis, implementing hundreds of health projects that have included supporting hospitals, providing medicines, operating mobile clinics, and combating epidemics. These ongoing efforts at the Al-Walan camp reflect the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's unwavering commitment to supporting its brothers and sisters in Yemen across various sectors, and its tireless pursuit of improving public health indicators and reducing the spread of diseases and epidemics that threaten the lives of displaced persons, thereby strengthening regional health security and alleviating the severity of the humanitarian crisis.
