Saudi aid agency expands Yemen relief with malaria campaign, repatriates Somali refugees
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s aid agency has launched a nationwide campaign to distribute one million insecticide-treated mosquito nets across Yemen while facilitating the voluntary return of 155 Somali refugees to their homeland, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) said the mosquito net campaign, launched in Aden in cooperation with the World Health Organization (WHO) and Yemen’s National Malaria Control Program, aims to protect two million vulnerable people from malaria.
The campaign will prioritize pregnant women, children and internally displaced people living in camps across all Yemeni governorates.
