The Saudi Project for Landmines Clearance in Yemen (MASAM) launched by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief), removed 64 anti-personnel mines, 1,430 anti-vehicle mines, 85 explosive devices, and 955 unexploded ordnance during the second week of December. This brings the total of the removed landmines to 26,609 since the launching of the project.
The mines were planted by the Houthis in Yemen lands, schools and houses in Yemen. They attempted to conceal them in different colors and ways, causing the death of a huge number of children, women, and elders and wounding others, as revealed by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
KSRelief dispatched 6,300 cartons of dates to Marib governorate and also distributed 1,836 cartons of dates and 700 food baskets among the needy people in Lahj governorate.
Notably, the kingdom has so far presented a total of 301 humanitarian projects through KSRelief.
A team from the Center visited Saturday the program to improve livelihoods of communities in Tarim Directorate in Wadi Hadramout, which was inaugurated earlier this month. The program aims to improve the lives of women who have lost their source of income and poorer families through vocational training of beneficiaries.
