JAKARTA: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief) delivered 100 tons of dates to the Indonesian government on Tuesday to be distributed to the poor and internally displaced families affected by disasters in the country.
Saudi Ambassador to Indonesia Osama bin Mohammed Al-Shuaibi handed over the delivery to Indonesia’s Minister of Social Affairs, Idrus Marham at the embassy compound in South Jakarta.
“We will distribute the dates to the poor, especially those who have been displaced from their homes as a result of various calamities and who are in regions where the poverty rates are high,” Marham said.

Breakthrough in heart arrhythmia diagnosis
JEDDAH: King Abdulaziz University has achieved a new research breakthrough in the field of cardiology by developing a simple and effective method for detecting hidden heart rhythm disorders.
These conditions are often difficult to diagnose using conventional tests and may lead to dangerously rapid heartbeats, which can sometimes be life-threatening.
The method was developed by electrophysiologist Dr. Ahmed Mokhtar as part of a collaborative research initiative with Canada’s Western University.
It aims to enhance diagnostic accuracy and accelerate clinical decision-making in cases of abnormal heart rhythms, ultimately improving the quality of care and patient safety.
The technique was tested on 24 patients, demonstrating clear effectiveness in distinguishing between dangerous and normal heart rhythms.
The findings were published in the international journal Heart Rhythm, reflecting global recognition of the study’s significance and its clinical value.
