KSrelief launches drinking water and shelter aid project in Lahij

The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) today launched an emergency response project to secure drinking water for displaced people and host communities in Tuban district, Lahij governorate.

Implemented in partnership with the local Alkhair Coalition for Humanitarian Relief, the project will distribute safe drinking water to displaced and affected communities at 20 distribution points across five camps in Tuban, benefiting 691 families—totaling 3,976 individuals.

The initiative aims to ensure access to safe drinking water, ease the burden of obtaining clean water, reduce financial pressure on displaced families, and help prevent diseases caused by unsafe water.

In a related effort, KSrelief also launched the distribution of urgent shelter aid for displaced families as part of the sixth phase of its emergency shelter plan, in cooperation with Alkhair Coalition. The project will provide 115 tents and 115 shelter kits, benefiting around 700 displaced individuals in Tuban district, Lahij.

During the launch, Saeb Abdulaziz, director of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor office in Lahij, praised the Kingdom's ongoing support through KSrelief and its rapid response to the needs of displaced and affected families, which helps enhance their stability and alleviate the hardships of displacement.

The drinking water and shelter aid project is part of KSrelief's ongoing humanitarian efforts to ease the suffering of displaced and affected people in Yemen and to help meet their basic needs for safe drinking water.
