JEDDAH: Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has directed health authorities to transfer Palestinian Siamese twins Haneen and Farah from Gaza to King Abdul Aziz Medical City of the National Guard in Riyadh for treatment and the possibility of separating them.
Abdullah Al-Rabeeah, supervisor general of King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief), said that this humanitarian gesture from the crown prince comes as an extension of the great humanitarian efforts being undertaken by the Kingdom, and stresses the desire of King Salman to stand with the Palestinian people.
He pointed out that the twins, who are joined in the abdominal and pelvic region, have one lower limb and share some internal organs. He added that they need accurate medical tests to ascertain the joint organs and the possibility of separating them.
The twins were born in Gaza on Sunday.

Saudi defense minister receives Mukalla port director, thanks him for heroic role
- Prince Khalid thanked Basamir for his heroic and humanitarian role in ensuring safety and protecting lives and property at the port
RIYADH: Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman received the director of the Port of Mukalla Salem Basamir on Tuesday.
In a post on social media platform X, Prince Khalid thanked Basamir for his heroic and humanitarian role in ensuring safety and protecting lives and property at the port.
The Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen carried out a limited airstrike in December targeting foreign military support at the Port of Mukalla in the Hadramaut governorate, where calm has been restored after a period of tension.
In a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency following the strikes, coalition spokesman Major General Turki Al-Maliki said two ships coming from the port of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates entered the Port of Mukalla without obtaining official permits from the Joint Forces Command of the Coalition.
“The crews of the two ships disabled their tracking systems and unloaded a large quantity of weapons and combat vehicles to support the Southern Transitional Council forces in the eastern governorates of Yemen (Hadramaut and Al-Mahra) with the aim of fueling the conflict. This is a clear violation of the truce and the pursuit of a peaceful solution, as well as a violation of UN Security Council Resolution No. 2216,” said the spokesman.
