The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) announced on Saturday that Saudi Arabia will provide USD10 million to help address the existing threats arising from the Safer oil tanker, which is moored off Yemen's city of Hodeidah.

In a statement, KSrelief said the Kingdom has always supported the United Nations’ efforts to avoid the economic, humanitarian, and environmental threats posed by the tanker, where an oil spill resulting from further deterioration of the vessel has the potential to cause a major environmental and navigational disaster that would cause widespread damage to the Red Sea.
