Conjoined twins Hasan and Hussein, accompanied by their mother, have arrived at King Khaled International Airport in Riyadh from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on a Medevac plane, upon the directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister.

Upon their arrival at the airport on Wednesday, the twins were immediately transferred to King Abdullah Specialized Children's Hospital in the Ministry of National Guard for further examination of their case and to explore the possibility of performing a surgical separation.

The Advisor at the Royal Court, General Supervisor of King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) and the head of the Medical Team, Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Rabeeah, emphasized that these actions demonstrate the Kingdom's deep sense of humanity and solidarity.

He expressed his gratitude to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Crown Prince for their unwavering support towards Saudi Arabia's Conjoined Twins Program and humanitarian efforts in general.

The mother of the Tanzanian twins extended her heartfelt appreciation to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Crown Prince for their kind gesture, as well as for the warm hospitality and generosity they experienced during their stay in the Kingdom.

Parts of the UK were flooded Wednesday as heavy rains and powerful winds continued to disrupt New Year’s celebrations.

Several communities in the Manchester area were flooded, with cars submerged up to their roofs on roads and in parking lots after nearly a month's worth of rain fell in two days.

A major incident was declared and mountain rescue teams were called in to help firefighters respond to properties underwater and stranded vehicles, Greater Manchester Police said.

"There’s still probably likely to be further flooding across the course of the day," Met Office meteorologist Tom Morgan said. "We are potentially expecting the flood situation to get worse before it gets better."

The deluge and gusts derailed New Year's Eve fireworks celebrations, leading to cancellations in Edinburgh and several other cities. Events planned for New Year's Day, including nippy outdoor swims and a bathtub boat race, were scrapped.

London, which was able to launch its massive fireworks display on the River Thames in front of Big Ben, had to postpone the start of its New Year’s Day parade and grounded inflatable floats due to the blustery conditions.

Flooding warnings, which indicate flooding is expected, were issued in more than 150 communities across the UK, with most being in northern England.

Several trains were canceled because of high water around the tracks and some highways were closed.

The storm brought snow to parts of the Scottish Highlands and a three-day snow warning was issued for most of England and Scotland this weekend.
