A plane carrying six Somalis injured in a recent terrorist bombing that targeted a hotel in Mogadishu arrived on Friday at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, for treatment in the Kingdom.

The move came in an implementation of the directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.

Representatives of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), the Ministry of Health, and the Somali Ambassador to the Kingdom, Salim Maow Haji, received the injured Somalis upon their arrival in Riyadh.

Advisor at the Royal Court and the General Supervisor of KSrelief, Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Rabeeah, thanked King Salman for his generous directives.

The Somali ambassador also appreciated the King’s move and for the professional and organized work of transporting the injured, noting that this embodies the depth of relations between the two countries.

For their part, the injured Somalis expressed their sincere gratitude to the Saudi leadership for taking care of them, and for the warm reception and hospitality they have received since their arrival in the Kingdom.

Kuwait's foreign ministry issued on Sunday a circular indicating that it had listed eight hospitals in Lebanon as part of regulations related to "combating terrorism.”

Lebanon's health ministry expressed surprise and said it would seek clarification.

It said it received the Kuwaiti statement "with great surprise", adding it had not been provided with "any information or notification from any Kuwaiti entity about this matter.”

"The hospitals mentioned in the statement are registered with the syndicate of private hospitals in Lebanon and carry out their role in providing treatment and health services to all Lebanese without exception," the ministry statement said.

It called the facilities "an essential part of the Lebanese health system,” and said it would contact the relevant authorities to request clarification and "protect Lebanon's health system.”

It noted that "Kuwait has numerous joint projects with the ministry... and has been among the most prominent countries that have stood by the health system during the successive crises that Lebanon has faced.”

The latest move was "unprecedented and inconsistent" with the Gulf country's usual approach, it added.
