Saudi Arabia will provide 1.3 billion riyals ($347 million) to cover Yemeni government employees’ salaries and budget deficit, a Saudi official said on Wednesday.
The move comes weeks after the Kingdom announced development projects across southern Yemen worth $500 million.
The Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY) announced last month that the projects included reconstructing the Aden Airport runway and equipping it with navigation and communication systems as well as relaunching operations at major hospitals including the Hadramout University Hospital.
