Between Jan. 1 and June 30, the center, set up in 2019, has helped 2,862 patients through it limb-fitting service, physical rehabilitation and physiotherapy, as well as training and qualifying young Yemeni teams to take part in the project.

 Over the past few months the KSRelief team has helped Yemenis in need without discrimination.
