Saudi citizen “Umm Turki,” a well-known social activist in the Tuwaiq region, has launched a wide-scale awareness campaign under the hashtag “#UmmTurkiProtectsYouPeopleOfTuwaiq,” aimed at emphasizing the importance of adhering to precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the emerging coronavirus. This initiative comes as part of community efforts to support the “A Country Without Close Contacts” campaign recently launched by the Saudi Ministry of Health.

Umm Turki began her campaign approximately two weeks ago, distributing thousands of free masks to residents of the Tuwaiq region, in addition to spreading awareness messages through social media platforms. In a special statement to “Al-Riyadh Newspaper,” Umm Turki said: “Our primary goal is to protect members of our community from the risk of infection with the virus, and to emphasize that wearing a mask is not only a national duty but also an individual responsibility toward others.”
Official statistics issued by the Saudi Ministry of Health indicate that the Tuwaiq region recorded 127 new coronavirus infections during the past week, representing a 15% increase compared to the previous week. In this context, the Ministry’s official spokesperson, Dr. Mohammed Al-Abd Al-Aly, emphasized the importance of adhering to precautionary measures, saying: “We need all members of society to unite to limit the spread of the virus, and wearing a mask remains one of the most important means of prevention.”
Umm Turki’s campaign has received wide interaction from Tuwaiq region residents, with many citizens and residents participating in distributing masks and spreading awareness messages. In this regard, one of the region’s residents, Abdullah Al-Utaybi, said: “We appreciate the efforts of Umm Turki and everyone contributing to spreading awareness about the importance of adhering to precautionary measures. This demonstrates the awareness and concern of this country’s sons for everyone’s safety.”
Umm Turki’s campaign comes to highlight the importance of the individual’s role in supporting official efforts to limit the spread of the coronavirus. The campaign emphasizes that adhering to wearing masks and other precautionary measures is not only a national duty but also an individual responsibility toward the entire community. With the continued recording of new infections in the Tuwaiq region and other areas of the Kingdom, such community initiatives remain necessary to enhance awareness and commitment to preventive measures.

  • Karim Benzema Reveals His Future with Al-Ittihad Saudi Club

    In controversial statements that sparked widespread debate in sports circles, French star Karim Benzema opened the door to the possibility of leaving Al-Ittihad Club in Saudi Arabia at the end of the current season.

    In an interview with the French newspaper “L’Equipe,” the 36-year-old Benzema confirmed that he had not made a final decision regarding his continuation with the Saudi team, indicating that he would determine his future after the end of the current season.

    The French player added: “I faced some difficulties at the beginning of my journey here, but I worked hard and gradually improved. Now I feel that I am delivering good levels and contributing to the team’s success.”

    Since his move to Al-Ittihad Club in the summer of 2023 from Real Madrid, Benzema has scored 15 goals in 29 matches in various competitions so far, despite missing some matches due to injuries.

    Benzema had previously stated in an interview with the French magazine “France Football” that his future on the field might be linked to his ability to compete at the highest levels, hinting at the possibility of retirement if he felt he was no longer able to deliver the best.

    This statement comes at a time when Al-Ittihad Club is going through a transitional phase after the departure of its Portuguese coach Nuno Santo, which puts Benzema’s future with the team under the spotlight.

    Media reports had linked Benzema with a return to Europe, especially with the interest of some major clubs in his services, but the player did not confirm or deny these reports in his latest statements.

    It is worth noting that Benzema joined Al-Ittihad Club in a free transfer after the end of his contract with Real Madrid, where he signed a three-year contract in exchange for an annual salary estimated at about 200 million euros, making him one of the highest-paid players in the world.

    With several months remaining until the end of the season, football fans in Saudi Arabia and around the world are awaiting Benzema’s final decision, which may have a significant impact on the future of Al-Ittihad Club and the Roshn Saudi League.
