Thankfully, the mother’s condition is stable. A number of Saudi nationals stayed at the hospital to support the grieving mother throughout her difficult time.
The mother’s sister took Facebook to dedicate a heartfelt post to the family
She said,
With faith in God’s will and destiny, we mourn the loss of my sister’s husband, Malek Khormah, and their four children, Akram, Maya, Dana, and Dima, who were called to God’s mercy after a traffic accident in Saudi Arabia. They were returning home after performing the sacred rituals of Umrah.
Since the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is neighbours of the UAE and is connected by roadways, some UAE residents choose to travel by car or by public transportation. Furthermore, the trip usually takes up to 11 hours and 45 minutes.
Heartfelt condolences and prayers are being extended to the family.
