On Monday, five Jordanians died in a horrific traffic accident on the Mecca-Riyadh Road in Saudi Arabia.

Originally Palestinians with Jordanian nationalities, the family was returning to the UAE after performing Umrah rituals when their vehicle collided with another vehicle.

The deceased have been identified as Malik Akram Kharma, the father, and his four children, Akram, Maya, Dana and Dima, according to Haitham Khattab, head of the Humanitarian and Accidents Committee at Al Nashama Forum.

The car was involved in an accident in Saudi Arabia.

The mother of four survived the accident and is receiving treatment at King Fahd Hospital in the Hofuf region of Saudi Arabia. Her condition has been described as stable.

Near the accident site in Saudi Arabia, residents rushed from their vehicles to call emergency services and offer assistance.

A group of Saudi citizens remained at the hospital, accompanying the grieving mother during her ordeal.

According to Khattab, the Jordanian embassy is coordinating with officials in Jordan and Saudi Arabia to facilitate the repatriation.
