Salalah: Fifty injured Yemenis have completed a medical and rehabilitation programme at the Arabian Prosthetics Center (APC) in the Sultanate of Oman. The tenth batch of war-wounded Yemenis got artificial limbs and training at the APC in Salalah, Dhofar Governorate.
The injured praised the humanitarian role provided by the Sultanate of Oman for the victims of the war in Yemen, appreciating the efforts of the government and people of the Sultanate of Oman under the leadership of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik.
