A Palestinian pilgrim, Mohammed Sharif Zaidan from Tulkarem, Palestine, has expressed his gratitude to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for enabling him to perform Hajj this year through the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Guests program.

Zaidan, who was brought to the Kingdom in 2000 for medical treatment as part of a group of Palestinian individuals who sustained injuries caused by the Israeli occupation, said he feels overwhelmed with the Saudi generosity and thankful for being invited again to perform this year’s Hajj.

He expressed his appreciation and gratitude for the warm reception and good organization enjoyed by the program’s guests and for providing all facilities for them to perform the Hajj with ease and comfort along with the masses of pilgrims, extending his thanks to the Saudi leadership for its efforts to serve the guests, pilgrims, and visitors.

Under the program, 4,951 pilgrims from 92 countries have performed Hajj this year, including 1000 pilgrims from the families of martyrs, prisoners, and wounded Palestinians.
