In a separate humanitarian effort, Al-Baiz also signed a cooperation agreement with the Benevolence Coalition for Humanitarian Relief in Riyadh. The partnership aims to promote sustainable agriculture and strengthen the agricultural and fishery sectors in Yemen’s governorates.

The initiative will enhance the resilience of farmers and fishermen by providing essential supplies, including seeds, equipment, safety tools, fishing boats, veterinary kits, and greenhouses. The agreement also includes training on modern agricultural and fishery techniques and improvements in irrigation infrastructure, such as drip irrigation systems and canal networks.

These agreements reaffirm Saudi Arabia’s ongoing commitment to humanitarian efforts worldwide, supporting communities in crisis through strategic aid programs.
