Saba announced the grant in its report of a meeting between Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah and Yemeni President Abd-Rabuh Mansour Al-Hadi.
King Abdullah "instructed his government to give Yemen a grant of petroleum products enough for two months, to help Yemen overcome its current difficult situation," Saba said, quoting sources.
In December, the king gave instructions to provide Yemen with urgent aid, especially petroleum products, shortly after the formation of a unity government.
Yemen, suffering from multiple security and humanitarian challenges, produces 300,000 barrels per day of crude, of which 105,000 bpd is exported. But supplies have been interrupted by sabotage attacks.
