Thai parliament speaker praises Saudi Arabia for serving Islam, charitable work

  • Wan Muhamad Noor Matha makes his comments during an iftar event at the Saudi embassy in Bangkok

RIYADH: The speaker of the Thai parliament, Wan Muhamad Noor Matha, on Wednesday praised Saudi Arabia for the major role it plays in serving Islam and Muslims worldwide.

The Kingdom also makes key contributions to global development, the provision of humanitarian aid and charitable donations to the needy, he added.

His comments came on the sidelines of a Ramadan iftar banquet hosted by the religious attache at the Kingdom’s embassy in the Thai capital, Bangkok. Guests included the Saudi ambassador to Thailand, Abdurahman Alsuhaibani, diplomats from Arab and Islamic countries, members of the Central Islamic Council of Thailand, and the heads of other Islamic organizations.

Matha thanked the Kingdom for providing academic scholarships to Thai students, and expressed his appreciation for the support of King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in efforts to strengthen relations between the two countries.

He also hailed the Kingdom for the charitable contributions and initiatives it provides during the holy month, in addition to other programs and activities it organizes, as a result of which he said Saudi Arabia is a perfect role model for charitable work worldwide.

KSrelief transfers Gaza girl to Jordan for cancer treatment

  • Roza Al-Dreimli in Jordan because Israel destroyed Gaza hospitals
  • Under assessment, monitoring at the King Hussein Cancer Center

AMMAN: A cancer-stricken Palestinian girl from Gaza is now undergoing clinical observation prior to treatment at a specialist hospital in Jordan, thanks to Saudi Arabia’s aid agency KSrelief.

Roza Al-Dreimli was transported to Amman from the Gaza Strip through the initiative of KSrelief, as a part of Saudi Arabia’s continued medical support for Palestinians, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Friday.

Al-Dreimli was prioritized because assessments indicated the need for advanced treatment of cancerous cells at the base of her brain. She is at the King Hussein Cancer Center, and being treated by a team of pediatricians.

She is currently undergoing “intensive clinical monitoring” to “ensure control of the condition, and prevent any potential neurological or visual complications resulting from the tumor’s location,” the SPA reported.

Al-Dreimli’s family expressed profound gratitude for KSrelief’s swift intervention, and hoped the specialized care would ensure a full recovery.

Such specialized care is currently unavailable in the Gaza Strip because of Israel’s alleged genocidal destruction of hospitals and killing of medical workers since Oct. 7, 2023.

Israel has systematically destroyed homes and commercial buildings and infrastructure in the Palestinian enclave, killing over 70,000 Palestinians, many of them unarmed men, women and children, and injuring more than 170,000.

Tel Aviv has stated that its actions were in retaliation to a raid by Hamas of Israeli border villages, during which the militant group reportedly killed more than 1,200 people and took 254 hostages.
