Aid for all Yemenis affected by war, regardless of religious views or backgrounds, is the motto of the King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Works.

The King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Works is providing aid and services to Yemenis, regardless of their religious views, backgrounds, economic status or geographical location, says an official.

“The relief center is making all efforts to provide help to those in need in all regions of Yemen, without prejudice and across all cities including Aden, Sana, and Saada,” Royal Court Adviser and General Overseer of the center, Abdullah Al-Rabiah, said, local media reported on Wednesday.

He reportedly made the statement following a meeting with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in New York recently.

Al-Rabiah said the purpose of the visit was to tell the world about efforts the Kingdom is making, under the leadership of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman, to help the Yemeni people.

He said Ban appreciated the work of the center in line with the standards put forward by the UN for the delivery of assistance to war-torn Yemen. Ban also specifically praised the efforts of Saudi Arabia on the peace front in line with UN Security Council Resolution 2216, Al-Rabiah said.

The UN chief is in favor of continued coordination with the King Salman center, not only in Yemen but all over the world, Al-Rabiah said, confirming that the center works in cooperation with various institutions.

He said the center has reached more than five million Yemenis so far with food and at least ten million with medical services, in addition to aiding many displaced Yemenis who left for Dijbouti.

Al-Rabiah said there are one million displaced Yemenis in Saudi Arabia who receive medical care, education and employment opportunities.

Saudi Arabia is committed to ensuring that commercial and humanitarian shipments continue to reach the Yemeni port as long as they are not used for any purposes in violation of UN humanitarian principles.

Saudi UN permanent representative Abdullah Al-Malami and Assistant UN Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs Steven O’Brien were present at the press conference.
