RIYADH, Sunday, 29 December 2024 (Urdu Times): Syrian conjoined twins, Celine and Eleen Abdulmoneim Alshibli, accompanied by their family, arrived at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Sunday following directives from Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz.
The children are scheduled for comprehensive medical assessments at King Abdullah Specialist Children’s Hospital, under the Ministry of National Guard’s King Abdulaziz Medical City. The evaluations will help determine their medical condition and assess the feasibility of a surgical procedure to separate them.
Dr. Abdullah Al Rabeeah, Advisor to the Royal Court and Supervisor General of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), who is also the Head of the Surgical and Multidisciplinary Team, lauded the leadership of King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for initiating this noble humanitarian act.
“This initiative underscores Saudi Arabia’s unwavering commitment to humanitarian values and its exceptional medical capabilities,” Dr. Al Rabeeah stated. He highlighted that Saudi Arabia’s contributions in global medical, humanitarian, and relief efforts have cemented its position as a leading supporter of those in need worldwide.
This initiative is the latest demonstration of the Kingdom’s dedication to supporting vulnerable communities and exemplifies its role as a beacon of humanitarian assistance worldwide.
