Saudi Arabia's King Salman has allocated 1 billion riyals ($265 million) for a Yemen relief center he has ordered to be set up in the kingdom, the Saudi-owned al-Arabiya television reported Wednesday.
The satellite channel said the money would be in addition to another 1 billion riyals the monarch had pledged.
An Arab alliance led by Saudi Arabia began military operations in Yemen in late March to try to support President Abed Rabbou Mansour Hadi against his opponents in the dominant Houthi group, which is allied to Iran.
