In a letter sent the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief), the UNICEF chief, expressed her thanks and appreciation for the Kingdom represented by KSRelief for providing $46 million support for seven diverse projects in Yemen, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday.

“The support will help the UNICEF to provide support to the children and their families, in the fields of health, nutrition, water and sanitation, education and protection, as well as to combat coronavirus in Yemen, by training health personnel and providing medical and other supplies,” she added in her letter.
