RIYADH: Saudi Arabia condemned Israeli war crimes being committed in the Gaza Strip without deterrence, Saudi Press Agency reported on Tuesday.

The condemnation comes after Palestinian authorities reported finding hundreds of bodies in mass graves at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis this week after it was abandoned by Israeli troops.

Bodies were also reported at the Al-Shifa medical site following an Israeli special forces operation.

The Kingdom’s Foreign Ministry stressed that the failure of the international community to hold Israel accountable for violating international law will only result in more violations and the exacerbation of human tragedies and destruction.

It renewed the Kingdom’s demand that the international community assume its responsibility toward stopping Israeli attacks on civilians in the Gaza Strip and holding it accountable for the massacres that it has committed there.

UN rights chief Volker Turk said earlier on Tuesday he was “horrified” by the mass grave reports at Gaza hospitals.

Wild ghee production: Tradition of the Northern Borders region
  • Wild ghee production peaks during the winter months due to high local demand
  • Northern women showcase their ghee and other handicrafts at various festivals and national events

ARAR: In the Northern Borders region, women have long excelled in producing wild ghee, a staple rooted in the local culture and closely tied to the region’s abundant livestock, estimated by the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture to exceed seven million cattle and camels.

Wild ghee production peaks during the winter months due to high local demand and is a key ingredient in many popular dishes, including porridge and festive meals.

Wild ghee is stored in leather containers known as “Al-Nahw” or “Al-Dharf.” (SPA)

Umm Nada, a local ghee producer, describes the multi-stage process: Starting with milking, the milk is then heated, boiled, slightly cooled and mixed with a starter culture to transform it into “khathir,” a traditional dairy product of naturally fermented or curdled milk similar to yogurt or kefir.

The mixture is then churned for more than half an hour in a goatskin or sheepskin container called a “samil.” After several days of mixing, the butter is melted over fire, turning into wild ghee, which is then stored in leather containers known as “al-nahw” or “al-dharf.”

Northern women showcase their ghee and other handicrafts at festivals and national events, with the Arar market and the Lavender Hall, which provides training and development for local producers, serving as key venues for these traditional crafts.
