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.
