Al-Rabeeah underlines mine clearance role

Abdullah Al-Rabeeah, adviser at the Royal Court and general supervisor of the Saudi aid agency KSrelief, has affirmed the Kingdom’s role in mine removal as part of its humanitarian initiatives.

KSrelief’s efforts aim to improve the environment, protect civilians — especially women and children — and build skills, ensure safety, preserve public health, and reduce the hazardous impacts of mines on individuals and communities.

He highlighted the $2.5 billion Middle East Green Initiative, which aims to guide the Kingdom and the region in safeguarding the environment while addressing challenges.

Al-Rabeeah made the remarks during his participation in the Third International Humanitarian Demining Conference in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan.

The conference, called “Mitigating Environmental Impact of Landmines: Resource Mobilization for a Safe and Green Future,” took place from May 30-31 and was attended by the Saudi Ambassador to Azerbaijan Essam bin Saleh Al-Jutaili.
