Saudi Arabia has extended the contract of the Saudi Project for Landmines Clearance in Yemen (MASAM) for an additional year with a cost of more than $33 million.

“Renewing the contract with the implementing partner stems from the sense of humanitarian responsibility the center has towards our brothers in Yemen,” said Advisor at the Royal Court and Supervisor General of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Rabeeah.
