RIYADH, May 27 (Xinhua) -- Saudi Arabia announced on Wednesday urgent support for Yemen in the form of oil derivatives worth 150 million U.S. dollars.
The Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen said in a post on X that the support is intended to cover the operational needs of diesel and mazut for power stations across various Yemeni governorates.
The program said the support aims to enhance the stability of the electricity system, improve the continuity of basic services, and ease the suffering of Yemenis, thereby strengthening vital services and supporting economic and development activities in Yemen.
Established in 2018, the program operates under a comprehensive development agreement between the governments of Saudi Arabia and Yemen. ■
