Secretariat General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly denounced on Friday the Israeli forces' storming ad closure of the gates of Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem.

At least 152 worshippers were injured in the unrest and hundreds were arrested.

The OIC deemed the developments a dangerous escalation, an attack against the entire Islamic nation and a flagrant violation of the international resolutions and charters.

It held Israel responsible for the repercussions of such daily crimes and offenses against the Palestinian people and their territories.

The OIC called on the United Nations Security Council to shoulder its responsibility to protect the Palestinian people, as well as the sacred places, and prevent future Israeli Israeli attacks that fuel extremism, religious divisions and instability in the region.

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.
