Saudi’s first oil product aid will reach Yemen by October-end

Saudi Arabia will provide war-torn Yemen with oil products to support power and water-treatment plants, with the first shipment set to reach Aden by the end of October, Arab News reported.

The announcement was made by Mohammed bin Saeed Al-Jaber, the Saudi ambassador to Yemen, executive director of the Isnad Center for Comprehensive Humanitarian Operations in Yemen, and supervisor of the Saudi Reconstruction Program in Yemen. 

“Several projects have been implemented in Yemen, including the fully-equipped Seiyun Hospital, which includes five clinics,” said Al-Jaber. “The hospital has been prepared according to the standards deployed at Al-Jawf Hospital.”

Al-Jaber also noted that SRPY had carried out a number of electricity and development projects on Socotra Island, and that a project to reconstruct the road linking Aden and Sanaa is close to completion and vehicles have begun using parts of it.

“We have also briefed them on the initiatives launched by Saudi Arabia to support the humanitarian situation in Yemen and that projects are currently being implemented by SRPY in several Yemeni governorates, including Al-Jawf, Marib, Hadramout, Al-Mahrah, Socotra, and Dhala,” he added.
