NEW YORK — Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah, advisor to the Royal Court and general supervisor of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief), said that Saudi Arabia has hosted more than 260,000 Rohingya refugees ever since the beginning of the conflict in Myanmar. “The Kingdom has so far spent $2.25 billion to render them public health care, as well as to create jobs for them in addition to providing their children with education,” he said while addressing a high-level session on the Rohingya minority crisis at the United Nations headquarters in New York on Saturday.
