The Saudi General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI) has revealed a royal order stipulating that Saudi food delivery workers shall be covered by COVID-19 relief packages.

Saudi Minister of Finance, Economy and Planning Mohammed al-Jadaan said that the royal decree, issued by King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saudi, has included these workers in the coronavirus relief packages.

The workers will get the benefits retroactively along with September’s payment.

All affected companies can apply to the General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI), a semi-government body responsible for implementing the provisions of the social insurance law in Saudi Arabia, for compensation for wages under the SANED scheme.

SANED is an insurance program designed to support Saudi workers and their families financially during a period of unemployment for reasons beyond their control.

OIC Condemns Continued Israeli Aggression on Palestine, Lebanon

OIC Condemns Continued Israeli Aggression on Palestine, Lebanon

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has strongly condemned the ongoing and escalating Israeli military aggression on Lebanon, which has resulted in hundreds of martyrs and injured individuals and displaced nearly one million people.
The OIC held the Israeli occupation responsible for this dangerous escalation, which threatens the security and stability of the entire region, SPA reported.

It also called for increased solidarity with Lebanon and urged for the provision of urgent relief aid to enable the Lebanese government to respond to the displacement crisis caused by the brutal Israeli aggression.
The OIC also strongly condemned the continuing war crimes being committed by the Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip, including the latest massacres in the Nuseirat refugee camp and the city of Khan Yunis, which resulted in the deaths and injuries of hundreds of innocent civilians.

The organization considered these actions part of the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people, which necessitates accountability and prosecution under international criminal law.
The OIC renewed its call on the United Nations Security Council to assume its responsibilities in maintaining international peace and security, enforce its resolutions, impose an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire, and put an end to Israel's continued violations of international law.
