DUBAI: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief) launched on Saturday a campaign to combat malaria in Yemen.

KSRelief’s aid efforts were carried out by its implementing partner, the World Health Organization, according to a report by state agency SPA.

The relief organization also dismantled 763 mines across Yemen in one week.

These included 93 anti-personnel mines, 335 anti-tank mines, 333 unexploded ordnance and 2 explosive devices.

KSRelief’s Project Masam has so far dismantled 359,626 mines since its inception.
The humanitarian center also extended its relief efforts to Lebanon by distributing 300 food baskets to refugees and host communities in the country.

This came within KSRelief’s project to provide food security for Palestinian and Syrian refugees in Lebanon.

Meanwhile, the relief center’s teams have worked tirelessly to support people affected by the floods in Pakistan.

KSRelief has lately sent its 8th and 9th aid planes to Karachi, carrying 60 tons of shelter materials and food baskets for 8,424 beneficiaries.

The aid, which comes as part of the air bridge that the center has earlier established for flood-hit communities, will be distributed across Pakistan based on the need.

On Saturday, as many as 1,520 food baskets were distributed in the Sindh and Punjab provinces, benefiting 10,640 people, reported SPA.
