The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) expressed deep regret over the UN Security Council’s failure to adopt the draft resolution to end the brutal Israeli aggression in Gaza Strip, SPA said on Wednesday.
OIC also said that it deeply regrets the United States’ use of veto on the draft resolution, describing it as a negative reflection of the Security Council’s role in maintaining international peace and security, protecting civilians and ensuring the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza Strip.
OIC renewed its call on the international community, particularly the Security Council, to assume its responsibility and take urgent measures to stop the genocide facing the Palestinian people in Gaza Strip.

Saudi Arabia’s National Center for Meteorology warned on Friday of heavy rains in Makkah and Al-Jumum Governorate including the centers of Rahat and Madrakah.

The rain will be accompanied by strong winds, lack of horizontal visibility, hail, torrents, and thunderstorms.

It said the weather conditions will continue until Friday night.

Meanwhile, the General Authority for the Care of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque, in cooperation with other government agencies working in the Grand Mosque, intensified cleaning and drying of the Mataf area (circumambulation track) after the rainfall witnessed in Makkah on Thursday to ensure the safety and security of worshippers and Umrah performers.

The authority mobilized more than 200 supervisors and observers, 4,000 workers, and more than 500 pieces of equipment to deal with the rain.

To ensure the thoroughness of the cleaning process, water suction and washing equipment were strategically distributed both inside and outside the Grand Mosque.
