Secretary General of the Muslim World League (MWL) and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa inaugurated several humanitarian projects in Kenya, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Sunday.

Al-Issa attended the signing of a cooperation agreement between the MWL and the Hepatitis Fund, aiming to provide essential prevention, treatment, and care measures for those affected by this disease, which poses a threat to the lives of hundreds of millions worldwide.

Kuwait on Sunday instituted rolling blackouts in several residential neighborhoods despite high summertime temperatures in the desert emirate.

The state-run KUNA news agency blamed “a fuel supply disruption” for the blackouts, which shut down desalination plants and some power stations.

The forecast high for Kuwait on Sunday was 43 degrees Celsius (109 Fahrenheit). Weather forecasters warned it could feel like 53 degrees Celsius (127 degrees Fahrenheit), with poor air quality as well.
