Hi and welcome to the forum. I do not think it is an easy job to replace the sensor, it would have to go to a workshop. If you can fill in your location, maybe a local repairer could be recommended.

I scratched the Sensor (I presume the sensor cover actually as there is some sort of protection there) on my K10D while cleaning it and the quote was around £200. As it doesn't show up in any great detail until around f11 I haven't bothered getting it replaced.

It is possible that the sensor is just marked rather than scratched. Try cleaning it thoroughly.
With a K10D, it will be more economcal to replace the whole camera (with a used one) than the sensor.

It is very unlikely that the sensor will be damaged.
A filter, which is in front of the sensor, may be damaged but it is certainly not a user replaceable part.
Your camera will need to go to a qualified repair centre to have it fixed.
Have you tried wet cleaning products like Eclipse/Eclipse 2 fluid with PecPads to clean it?

I still think it's likely to be a mark rather than a scratch. You should try cleaning it again.
If a replacement camera is needed, hopefully you will eventually find an eBay seller prepared to ship to Yemen.

Just to be clear, is it definitely the sensor which is scratched rather than the focussing screen? It is much easier to replace the focussing screen.
