Saudi Arabia transforms Yemen's 'Hayjat Al-Abed' road into a lifeline for millions
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has announced the completion of a significant development project to upgrade the 'Hayjat Al-Abed' road in Yemen, which was previously known as the 'Road of Death' due to its difficult terrain and frequent accidents. This project aims to transform the road into a safe artery that connects Yemeni governorates and facilitates transportation.
This project comes as part of the Kingdom's ongoing efforts to support infrastructure in Yemen, as this road is considered one of the most important strategic routes connecting the city of Taiz to other governorates. In the past, the road caused great suffering for travelers and truck drivers due to its ruggedness and danger.
It is expected that about 5 million people will benefit from this vital project, as it will contribute directly to improving economic activity and facilitating the delivery of humanitarian aid and essential goods to the population. The project will also work to reduce traffic accidents and ensure the safety of travelers on a permanent basis.
This step reaffirms the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's commitment to supporting stability and development in Yemen by implementing projects that directly serve the Yemeni citizen. This project is viewed as a model of development cooperation aimed at easing burdens on civilians and improving the quality of life in the most needy areas.
