The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has extended the contract for the Masam project, aimed at clearing Yemeni territory of mines, for another year, at a cost of $35,998,500.
The project is carried out by Saudi personnel and international experts working alongside trained Yemeni teams to clear all types of randomly planted mines in Yemeni lands. It focuses on dismantling these mines and eliminating the threats they pose to the Yemeni population. It also includes capacity-building and training activities for Yemeni individuals involved in mine clearance.
KSrelief Supervisor General Dr. Abdullah Al Rabeeah emphasized the crucial significance of renewing the contract for this project, as it plays a vital role in the clearance of Yemeni territory from mines intentionally planted in areas that endangered innocent civilians, leading to lifelong injuries, disabilities, and tragic loss of life among women, children, and older people.
So far, the project has cleared 450,919 mines and var
ious missiles, he added.
Al Rabeeah expressed thanks and appreciation to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for their outstanding humanitarian and relief initiatives in Yemen and other various countries.
