Saudi Arabia’s aid agency KSrelief launched a volunteer medical program in Turkey and Yemen reported state news agency SPA on Friday.
In Turkey, the program was for adult and pediatric orthopedic surgery in the provinces of Gaziantep and Hatay which ran from Aug. 24 until Aug. 31. It involved 28 volunteers as part of the Saudi Volunteer Life program for the earthquakes in Syria and Turkiye.
Saudi Arabia’s aid agency examined 538 patients and performed 87 surgeries.
Meanwhile in Yemen, KSrelief initiated a volunteer program for open heart surgery, diseases and catheterization in Hadhramaut.
The program is set to run from Sept. 1 until Sept. 9 and has already conducted 9 successful open heart surgeries and 28 heart catheterization procedures.
Many people were wounded in a blast at Riyadh's international airport on Saturday, according to two eyewitnesses and two people briefed on the matter, and travellers were evacuated from parts of the facility.
The organisers of two major Saudi energy and investment conferences said their events will go ahead this month and reassured visitors on security, after missile attacks on Riyadh's airport left four people dead and an airliner heavily damaged this week.
The Saudi-led coalition said Saturday it is carrying out a "large-scale operation" against Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels, claiming to have destroyed 136 military targets.
