According to a report in the Saudi-owned al-Arabiya, the Saudi Press Agency announced that the king wants the funds allocated “for immediate needs of medicines and medical equipment and supplies necessary to treat the victims of the Israeli attacks against the Gaza Strip which claimed the lives of thousands of innocent children, women, elderly and people of special needs.”
