Children given wristbands at Two Holy Mosques

MAKKAH: The General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques is distributing wristbands to children accompanying their parents to avoid being lost.

The wristband displays the name of the child and the contact numbers of their parents to help authorities reach them out should they become separated from the child.

Khalid bin Fahad Al-Shalawi, undersecretary-general for social, voluntary and humanitarian services at the presidency, told Arab News: “The initiative … supports parents and their children to perform their rituals peacefully.”
