The General Presidency for the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque announced that Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz has approved holding the Tarawih prayers at the Grand Mosque in Makkah and the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah during the holy fasting month of Ramadan.

At his directives, the number of rakats will be reduced given the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The necessary precautionary health measures will be in place at the mosque throughout the holy month.

Sheikh Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais, head of the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque, said King Salman’s decision reflects the leadership’s keenness on holding prayers at the two holy mosques and dedication of all services to ensure the safety of worshippers.

The General Presidency has dedicated its full human and operational potential to serve Umrah pilgrims and worshippers during Ramadan, he continued.

King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman are constantly following up on all affairs that would ensure that the best services are provided to the worshippers, he added.

Saudi Arabia actively marks World Children's Day, observed on November 20 every year, through a range of projects and initiatives carried out by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), which is dedicated to supporting children and promoting their well-being worldwide.

Since its establishment, KSrelief has implemented 3,117 projects across 105 countries, totaling over $7.1 billion. Among these, 965 projects were valued at over $924 million, specifically focusing on enhancing the living conditions of children and their families, alleviating their suffering and ensuring access to education in safe and healthy environments.

One significant project by the center is the rehabilitation and reintegration of children recruited and affected by the armed conflict in Yemen, which aims to support child soldiers in their journey back to society.

The project has positively impacted 530 children and 60,560 family members. It entails facilitating the children's integration into their communities, enrolling them in schools, and offering vital psychological and social support through targeted training courses, helping them to lead normal, fulfilling lives.
KSrelief is a key supporter of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), significantly contributing to the delivery of health services and nutrition programs for newborns and their mothers. The center also plays a crucial role in supporting educational initiatives and ensuring the continuity of education in crisis and disaster-affected areas.
