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.

Zilla, the plant with striking purple flowers, has recently been spotted in the serene valleys of the Northern Borders region.
The rare and beautiful plant is often called locally "shabram".
The chairman of the board of directors of the Aman Environmental Association, Nasser bin Arshid Al-Majlad, said that the Northern Borders region, with its diverse terrain, supports a variety of plant life, each with its unique value. Zilla, in particular, plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem, providing nectar for bees and forage for livestock, especially camels. However, due to overgrazing and other factors, the population of this plant has declined significantly in recent years, SPA reported.
The Aman Environmental Association is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of preserving the region's natural heritage. By highlighting the beauty and ecological significance of plants like the Zilla, the association aims to inspire individuals to take action and protect the environment.
