Yemen's Cabinet held a meeting in Aden on Wednesday onthe brotherly Saudi bailout in the form of a $2 billion deposit to stabilize the country's currency.

"In the name of the Cabinet, I highly appreciate the orders of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud to deposit $2 billion into the Central Bank in order to lift the suffering of the Yemeni people," said Prime Minister Ahmed bin-Daghr at the opening of the Cabinet's meeting.

Bin-Daghr also thanked President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi for his follow-up on this generous Saudi aid.

The Cabinet said "this generous support comes at a time we are facing complicated economic circumstances as a result of the war ignited by Iran's proxies and tools in Yemen – the Houthi rebel militia."
