Saudi Arabia has provided Yemen with an urgent grant of oil derivatives worth $150 million to cover the operation of power plants running on diesel fuel and mazout throughout the country. Ordered by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, the move is an extension of the Kingdom’s support for the Yemeni people. Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman will follow up on the fulfillment of the grant. The Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY) will oversee the implementation of the grant that will bolster energy generation in the country and improve basic services to ease the suffering of the Yemeni people. Saudi Ambassador to Yemen and General Supervisor of the SDRPY Mohammed Al-Jaber said the grant is an extension of the Kingdom’s firm support to the Yemeni people, especially as temperatures begin to rise this time of year.
