Saudi Arabia to provide $1.2 billion to Yemen
ISTANBUL (AA): Saudi Arabia said on Tuesday it will provide $1.2 billion to Yemen to cover its budget deficit.
The primary aims of this fresh economic assistance were to assist Yemen in addressing its budget deficit, and strengthen the existing bonds between Saudi Arabia and Yemen, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
Yemen has been engulfed by violence and instability since 2014, when Iranian-aligned Houthi rebels captured much of the country, including the capital, Sana’a.
Coalition forces led by Saudi Arabia have been supporting the Yemeni government against the Houthis since March 2015.
