          He made the pledge in a UN donor conference for people affected by war in Yemen.

          Al-Jarallah said, "As we become only weeks away from the holy month of Ramadan, the humanitarian misery multiplies and the need for an urgent aid increases … we hope this amount will contribute to wipe away the tears of orphaned children, help the bereaved mothers and alleviate the pain of a people displaced by the war."

          He pointed out that the State of Kuwait has been exercising a political role to broker a resolution to the Yemeni conflict by "hosting Yemen peace talks for a hundred days" in 2016.

          He said: "Kuwait reiterates to the Conference that the only way to resolve this crisis is a political process based on adherence to the resolutions of United Nations according to the three terms of reference; the GCC Initiative, its executive mechanisms, the outcomes of the National Dialogue and the UN Security Council's resolution (2216)."
