He pointed out that his country continues to provide relief and development support to the Yemeni people, noting that the Kingdom contributed during this year an amount of $ 750 million in the humanitarian response plan for Yemen, in addition to the contribution of the King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Action through the project (pore) in the removal of more than 91,000 mines, protection and rehabilitation of children caught in the fighting recruited by the Iranian Houthi militia in Yemen.
The Saudi official affirmed Saudi Arabia's support for the efforts of UN envoy Martin Griffiths to reach a political solution to the Yemen crisis based on the Gulf Initiative, the results of the National Dialogue Conference, and Security Council Resolution 2216, pointing out the importance of concerted international efforts to pressure the Houthi militias to compel them to comply with the peace dues.
