Saudi Arabia Announces $346 Million Support Package for Yemen in Renewed Humanitarian Push
Funding aims to bolster food security, healthcare and economic stability as kingdom reinforces regional leadership role
Saudi Arabia has announced a $346 million support package for Yemen, positioning the initiative as part of a renewed effort to stabilise its southern neighbour and address urgent humanitarian and economic pressures.
The funding, confirmed through official channels, is intended to support food assistance, healthcare services and broader relief operations across Yemen.
Authorities indicated that the programme will be coordinated with international organisations and local partners to ensure rapid delivery and accountability.
Yemen remains one of the world’s most fragile humanitarian environments, with millions reliant on external assistance for basic needs.
The latest Saudi contribution builds on previous aid commitments and financial interventions aimed at supporting Yemen’s central bank, stabilising the currency and facilitating essential imports.
Saudi officials described the package as part of a comprehensive approach that combines humanitarian relief with diplomatic engagement and economic support.
The kingdom has played a central role in mediation efforts and ceasefire initiatives designed to reduce violence and promote a political settlement.
Regional analysts note that sustained financial backing from Gulf states, particularly Saudi Arabia, has been critical in preventing further deterioration of Yemen’s public services and market stability.
The new allocation is expected to provide immediate relief while reinforcing longer-term recovery initiatives.
The announcement underscores Riyadh’s stated commitment to regional stability and humanitarian leadership, as it continues to support efforts aimed at restoring security and economic resilience in Yemen.
