Bahrain on Wednesday approved the emergency use for REGN-COV2 medicine, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc’s and Roche’s newly authorized COVID-19 antibody combination, as part of its coronavirus treatment protocol to treat existing cases with mild and moderate symptoms.

REGN-COV2 contains a combination of Casirivimab and Imdevimab, which are drugs called “monoclonal antibodies”, that are designed to block viral attachment and entry into human cells to neutralize the virus, state news agency (BNA) reported.

The report said updating the corona treatment protocol in the kingdom would reduce symptoms complications.

OIC Welcomes UN Call for ICJ Opinion on Israel's Aid Obligations to Palestinians

OIC Welcomes UN Call for ICJ Opinion on Israel's Aid Obligations to Palestinians

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has welcomed the UN General Assembly approval of a resolution requesting "an advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the obligations of Israel in relation to the presence and activities of the United Nations, other international organizations and third States,” expressing appreciation for the efforts of the Kingdom of Norway and all the countries that co-sponsored and supported the draft resolution, SPA reported.
The OIC emphasized that all plans and measures implemented by the Israeli occupation, including legislation affecting the presence, operations, and immunities of the United Nations and its bodies, such as the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), as well as other international organizations and third states in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, constitute a violation of the UN Charter and its relevant resolutions.
“These actions deprive the Palestinian people of essential assistance and exacerbate the humanitarian crisis they are experiencing," said the OIC.
The organization further welcomed the UN General Assembly's adoption of a resolution affirming the “permanent sovereignty of the Palestinian people in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and of the Arab population in the occupied Syrian Golan over their natural resources.”
The OIC called on all states, international organizations, and UN agencies to work toward ending the Israeli occupation and enabling the Palestinian people to exercise their legitimate rights, including the right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state based on the June 4, 1967, borders with Jerusalem as its capital.
