NEW YORK — The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) signed a cooperation agreement with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to improve sanitation services for the displaced population and host communities in Marib Governorate, Yemen.

With a total budget of $2.25 million, the agreement was signed by Dr. Abdullah Al Rabeeah, Advisor to the Royal Court and KSrelief Supervisor General, and IOM Director General Amy Pope during the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

The initiative aims to enhance access to safe sanitation facilities and waste management services in Marib. The project will involve the construction of 200 household latrines, the reconstruction of 600 cesspits, and the provision of waste management equipment. This will improve living conditions for approximately 47,598 individuals directly and benefit an additional 137,580 people indirectly.

This agreement is part of Saudi Arabia's ongoing commitment, through KSrelief, to support the Yemeni people by providing essential services and advancing the water and environmental sanitation sector.
