ADEN: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center — the Saudi aid agency — has launched an urgent response project aimed at combating cholera in Yemen.
The six-month project will benefit 1,153,000 individuals in areas most affected by the epidemic. It aims to reduce infection rates and limit the spread of cholera through preventative measures including the establishment of specialized medical teams to examine and monitor travelers at air and land entry points in several governorates, including Aden and Hadhramaut.

Dr. Salem Al-Shabhi, undersecretary of the population at the Yemeni Ministry of Health, expressed his gratitude to the Kingdom for its comprehensive support, which he said “embodies the deep fraternal ties between the two nations and strengthens the health system’s resilience against epidemic crises.”
Al-Shabhi added that the project is a “cornerstone in curbing the spread of epidemics, combining preventative measures with community awareness to promote health literacy.”
The initiative comes within the framework of the Kingdom’s ongoing efforts, through KSrelief, to strengthen healthcare measures in order to tackle the cholera epidemic in Yemen.
