Saudi Arabia, which is leading an air campaign against rebels in Yemen, has pledged to provide exactly the amount of emergency aid to the country as called for in a UN appeal on Friday.
The official Saudi news agency said it has promised $274m in humanitarian aid. Yemen has been wracked by fighting between Houthi rebels and government troops.
The UN says 150,000 people have been displaced by fighting. It also says 12 million are short of food.
Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud announced the aid late on Friday, saying his country would "stand fully by the brotherly people of Yemen".
A Saudi-led coalition has been launching air strikes against the rebels in 18 of Yemen's 22 provinces, exacerbating an existing humanitarian crisis.
