The Humanitarian Development Program has announced the inauguration of the Emergency Relief Project for the residents of Taiz City, funded by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center. The project aims to provide clean drinking water to thousands of families suffering from severe water shortages and limited access to safe and reliable water sources.
This initiative comes in response to the growing humanitarian needs in Taiz, a city that continues to face major challenges in water services due to its difficult circumstances. Ensuring the availability of clean water has therefore become a critical priority to safeguard the health and well-being of the local community.
The project includes supplying 700 distribution points across the city with clean drinking water delivered regularly and consistently. It also covers 7 key locations, including:
- Hospitals and primary healthcare centers
- Essential service sites
- Female student housing
Approximately 750,000 liters of water are pumped daily, ensuring a continuous supply for all targeted groups. The water distribution operation will run from December 2025 until March 2026, guaranteeing sustained support throughout the winter months, when dependence on humanitarian aid typically increases.
Project Objectives
- Provide safe drinking water to residents across various neighborhoods of Taiz
- Alleviate the suffering of families affected by the ongoing water crisis
- Support healthcare facilities to maintain uninterrupted services
- Enhance humanitarian stability in the most vulnerable areas
This project is expected to significantly improve the health and humanitarian conditions of thousands of families by reducing the spread of waterborne diseases and strengthening households’ resilience amid challenging living conditions. The initiative also reflects the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center’s commitment to supporting the most affected communities through sustainable projects that address essential needs.
