RIYADH — Palestinian child Mohammed Hijazi, who lost eyesight in Israeli attack, arrived in Riyadh to receive treatment at King Khalid Eye Hospital. This is in line with the directive of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman and Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman.

Hijazi had lost his sight as a result of Israeli occupation forces' shelling of the Gaza Strip. The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief) oversaw his transfer from Gaza to Jordan, and from there to Saudi Arabia.

The hospital's medical teams are scheduled to carry out the necessary examinations for the child to determine the appropriate medical procedures, in preparation for his treatment.
