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.
Syria has no plans to send troops to Yemen, a Syrian diplomatic source told state news agency SANA, dismissing reports of a possible deployment while adding that military cooperation with Saudi Arabia could eventually expand.
Yemen’s Houthi rebels have become the de facto gatekeepers of Red Sea shipping, with vessels emailing them to request safe passage, The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday.
Syria is aiding Riyadh with military advice and training as Saudi Arabia comes under attack by Yemen's Houthis, and has sent a limited number of military personnel to the kingdom, two Syrian military sources and a senior US official said.
