GENEVA: Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah, general supervisor of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief), met on Wednesday with the director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom, on the sidelines of the International Conference of Donor Countries in Yemen at the UN headquarters in Geneva.
