Masam Project clears more than 4,600 explosive devices from Yemen conflict in Abyan
The operation took place on Thursday in the Wadi Dufs area of Zinjibar, in Abyan Governorate, east of Yemen's de facto capital Aden.
The project reported the destruction of 4,620 pieces of ammunition and remnants of war, including 155 projectiles, 235 combat fuses, 85 pieces of armor-piercing ammunition, 4,096 bullets, 13 anti-personnel mines, five anti-tank mines, and 31 grenades.
The Masam Project added that its efforts aimed to enhance community security and protect the lives of civilians in Yemen.
Engineer Munther Qassem, commander of the first special task force at Masam, said that the operation had been conducted in a safe area, away from residential communities and agricultural regions, ensuring full compliance with international standards.
He added: 'The work of the special task teams does not stop throughout the year, given the importance of our missions in protecting the lives of innocent citizens.'
Qassem added that the team had successfully carried out the operation despite the high temperatures and rugged terrain of Abyan.

A ship with hundreds of tons of food aid for Gaza nears an Israeli port after leaving Cyprus
LIMASSOL: After setting off from Cyprus, a ship loaded with 1,200 tons of food supplies for the Gaza Strip was approaching the Israeli port of Ashdod on Tuesday in a renewed effort to alleviate the worsening crisis as famine threatens the Palestinian territory. The Panamanian-flagged vessel is loaded with 52 containers carrying food aid such as pasta, rice, baby food and canned goods. Israeli customs officials had screened the aid at the Cypriot port of Limassol from where the ship departed on Monday. Some 700 tons of the aid is from Cyprus, purchased with money donated by the United Arab Emirates to the so-called Amalthea Fund, set up last year for donors to help with seaborne aid. The rest comes from Italy, the Maltese government, a Catholic religious order in Malta and the Kuwaiti nongovernmental organization Al Salam Association. 'The situation is beyond dire,' Cyprus Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos told The Associated Press. Cyprus was the staging area last year for 22,000 tons of aid deliveries by ship directly to Gaza through a pier operated by the international charity World Central Kitchen and a US military-run docking facility known as the Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore system. By late July 2024, aid groups pulled out of the project, ending a mission plagued by repeated weather and security problems that limited how much food and other emergency supplies could get to those in need. Cypriot Foreign Ministry said Tuesday's mission is led by the United Nations but is a coordinated effort — once offloaded at Ashdod, UN aid employees would arrange for the aid to be trucked to storage areas and food stations operated by the World Central Kitchen. The charity, which was behind the first aid shipment to Gaza from Cyprus last year aboard a tug-towed barge, is widely trusted in the battered territory. 'The contribution of everyone involved is crucial and their commitment incredible,' Kombos said. Shipborne deliveries can bring much larger quantities of aid than the air drops that several nations have recently made in Gaza. The latest shipment comes a day after Hamas said it has accepted a new proposal from Arab mediators for a ceasefire. Israel has not approved the latest proposal so far. Israel announced plans to reoccupy Gaza City and other heavily populated areas after ceasefire talks stalled last month, raising the possibility of a worsening humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, which experts say is sliding into famine. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin has dismissed reports of starvation in Gaza are 'lies' promoted by Hamas. But the UN last week warned that starvation and malnutrition in the Palestinian territory are at their highest levels since since the war began. Gaza's Health Ministry said the Palestinian death toll from from 22 months of war has passed 62,000.

Israeli controls choke Gaza relief at Egypt border, say aid workers
RAFAH: At the Rafah crossing into the Gaza Strip, hundreds of aid trucks sat unmoving in the Egyptian desert, stuck for days with only a handful allowed through by Israel to relieve the humanitarian disaster across the border. After nearly two years of war, UN-backed experts have said famine is unfolding in the Palestinian territory, while there are also dire shortages of clean water and medicines. Yet aid groups say the flow of essential supplies remains painfully slow, despite the growing crisis. Israel continues to deny entry for life-saving medical equipment, shelters and parts for water infrastructure, four UN officials, several truck drivers and an Egyptian Red Crescent volunteer told AFP. They said the supplies were often rejected for being 'dual-use,' meaning they could be put to military use, or for minor packaging flaws. Some materials 'just because they are metallic are not allowed to enter,' said Amande Bazerolle, head of emergency response in Gaza at French medical charity MSF. Sitting on the Egyptian side was a truckload of intensive care gurneys baking in the sun, held back by the Israelis despite the UN reporting a severe shortage in Gaza, because one pallet was made of plastic instead of wood, aid workers said. Other shipments were turned away because 'a single pallet is askew, or the cling film isn't wrapped satisfactorily,' said an Egyptian Red Crescent volunteer. Even with everything lined up and approved beforehand, shipments can still be turned back, said Amal Emam, chief of the Egyptian Red Crescent. 'You can have a UN approval number stuck to the side of a pallet, which means it should cross, it's been approved by all sides, including COGAT, but then it gets to the border and it's turned back, just like that.' COGAT is the Israeli ministry of defense agency that oversees civil affairs in the Palestinian territories. Complying with the restrictions was also incredibly costly, Emam said. 'I have never in my life as a humanitarian seen these kinds of obstacles being put to every bit of aid, down to the last inch of gauze,' she added. Simple medicines such as ibuprofen can take a week to cross into Gaza. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization often has to rush to get insulin and other temperature-sensitive medicines through in regular trucks when Israeli officials reject the use of refrigerated containers. In a tent warehouse, dozens of oxygen tanks sat abandoned on Monday, gathering dust months after they were rejected, alongside wheelchairs, portable toilets and generators. 'It's like they're rejecting anything that can give some semblance of humanity,' a UN staffer told AFP, requesting anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press. Olga Cherevko, spokesperson for the UN's humanitarian agency OCHA, said the prohibited list 'is pages and pages of things.' Truck drivers have reported spending days stuck watching other vehicles that are often carrying identical supplies either waved through or rejected without explanation. Egyptian driver Mahmoud El-Sheikh said he had been waiting for 13 days in scorching heat with a truck full of flour. 'Yesterday, 300 trucks were sent back. Only 35 were allowed in,' he said. 'It's all at their discretion.' Another driver, Hussein Gomaa, said up to 150 trucks lined up each night on the Egyptian side, but in the morning 'the Israelis only inspect however many they want and send the rest of us back.' AFP could not independently verify the daily aid volume entering Gaza from Egypt. A WHO official said that at most 50 trucks enter Gaza every day while Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said only 130-150 trucks cross daily, sometimes 200 — about a third of what is needed. 'This is engineered hunger,' Abdelatty said on Monday, adding that over 5,000 trucks were waiting at the border. Last week, COGAT denied blocking aid. In a post on X, it said Israel facilitates humanitarian aid while accusing Hamas of exploiting aid to 'strengthen its military capabilities' and said 380 trucks entered Gaza last Wednesday. MSF warned aid bottlenecks were costing lives. It cannot bring in vital medical supplies as basic as scalpels or external fixators used to treat broken limbs. 'People are at risk of losing limbs because we don't have basic tools,' Bazerolle said. She added supplies were depleting faster than expected. 'We order for three or five months and then in two months it's gone.'

Al-Makkatain Museum preserves visual history of holy cities
JEDDAH: A treasure trove of rare manuscripts, drawings and photographs at Al-Makkatain Museum is giving visitors an unprecedented view of Makkah and Madinah through the centuries. Founded by Anas bin Saleh Serafi through the Al-Midad Foundation for Heritage, Culture and Arts, the museum opened in April 2022, to coincide with International Heritage Day. Located within a 10,000-square-meter space at Jeddah Park Mall, it places culture at the heart of community life and national identity. In an interview with Arab News, Mohammed Al-Kurbi, general supervisor of the foundation, said the museum's mission was 'to raise both local and global awareness of the exceptional spiritual and cultural significance of the Holy Cities in the collective memory of Muslims and humanity.' A collection spanning five centuries Al-Makkatain houses more than 500 original works, including 300 manuscripts, illustrations and prints from the 16th to 19th centuries, and 200 rare photographs taken between the late 1800s and mid-1900s. Together they form a visual archive that preserves the evolving memory of the Two Holy Mosques. 'The museum displays rare books authored by Orientalists, historians and explorers, making it a rich intellectual platform that narrates the story of the Holy Cities through a compelling visual lens,' Al-Kurbi said. The museum's name comes from the Arabic dual form 'Al-Makkatain,' much like 'Al-Abawain' for 'parents' or 'Al-Qamarain' for 'the sun and moon.' The permanent collection includes a rare manuscript of 'Dala'il al-Khayrat' by Imam al-Jazuli, gifted to Serafi, and personal belongings of his father, Sheikh Saleh Hamza Serafi, displayed in a section titled 'The Journey of Struggle and Achievement.' Another wing, Al-Zuhra Museum, features traditional attire and jewelry donated by Serafi's wife, Zuhra Qattan. Other notable works include a manuscript of 'Kharidat al-'Aja'ib wa Faridat al-Ghara'ib' by Siraj al-Din ibn Al-Wardi (dated 1007 AH), with one of the earliest known hand-drawn illustrations of the Holy Kaaba. A detailed schematic of the Grand Mosque dated 1287 AH is also displayed. Three galleries, one story The museum is arranged in three chronological galleries: Pre-Camera Art (1550–1880): Early renderings of the Grand Mosque, the Prophet's Mosque and sacred sites by Muslim and European artists. The oldest depiction is a 16th-century drawing of Makkah by German cartographer Sebastian Munster. There are contributors from famous Muslim artists like Faqir Hafiz Khuda Bakhsh and European illustrators such as Alain Manesson Mallet and Jean-Baptiste Claude Delisle from France and Bernard Picart of the Netherlands. Early Photographers (1880–1920): Rare images by pioneers such as Egyptian officer Mohammad Sadiq Bey, Abdul Ghaffar Baghdadi and Dutch Orientalist Snouck Hurgronje, among others. The museum's oldest known photograph dates to 1880, taken by Bey. The Golden Age of Photography (1920–present): Saudi photographers, including the Bushnaq family and Shafiq Arab Garli, documented the rapid changes in the holy sites. Works by Mohammad Helmy, commissioned in 1947 to photograph the Two Holy Mosques, mark a turning point in the archive. The gallery traces the advent of color photography and transformations during the early Saudi era. The most recent acquisition is a black-and-white photograph of the Grand Mosque by Princess Reem bint Mohammed bin Faisal Al-Saud. 'Through this chronological sequencing, the museum offers visitors a unique experience that brings together art, history and visual storytelling— demonstrating how global perspectives on the Holy Mosques have evolved,' Al-Kurbi said. Preserving memory, shaping understanding The museum highlights both the artistry and limitations of pre-photographic depictions and contrasts them with the accuracy of photographs, which arrived in the 19th century. Exhibits include copperplate engravings, early prints, stereographs and glass slides once used in 'magic lantern' projections. 'Makkah and Madinah were long isolated from the reach of photographers due to several factors,' Al-Kurbi said. 'Most notably, the prohibition of non-Muslims from entering Makkah, as well as the technical limitations of early photographic equipment. Additionally, the region's harsh geographic and climatic conditions, coupled with security challenges and the local population's wariness of outsiders, made visual documentation a significant challenge.' By juxtaposing early artistic imagination with photographic realism, the museum not only preserves images but also illustrates the evolution of documentation itself. 'In doing so, the museum becomes a dynamic cultural and educational space that inspires visitors and deepens their understanding of how imagery has been captured and conveyed through the ages,' Al-Kurbi said. A space for all generations For many elderly visitors, the museum rekindles memories of how the Holy Mosques once looked Mohammed Al-Zahrany, 65, who discovered the museum by chance while shopping with his family, described how the experience evoked deep nostalgia and reflection on the social and architectural transformations that had taken place. Younger visitors are also struck by the dramatic changes illustrated in the drawings and photographs. 'The exhibits introduce a visual history,' said 19-year-old Samah Ahmad. 'It enriched my understanding of the sacred sites and deepened their historical and spiritual significance.' The museum also serves as a valuable resource for researchers, historians and students, offering a rare archive for studying how Makkah and Madinah have been represented and reimagined over centuries. For Al-Makkatain, the goal is not only preservation, but linking the past and present through images that continue to resonate with Saudis and Muslims around the world.
