Saudi ‘sleeping prince' Al-Waleed bin Khalid dies after two decades in coma
The member of the royal family, who spent such a long time in a coma, was called the 'sleeping prince' in Saudi Arabia. There were periodic rumours that he was getting better, which were not confirmed.
'A prayer service for the prince's funeral will be held on Sunday at the Imam Turki bin Abdullah Grand Mosque in Riyadh,' the office said in a statement, which was cited by the state-run news agency SPA.
The information about the death of the 35-year-old prince was confirmed on X by his father Khalid bin Talal, who for 20 years refused to turn off life support and believed that his son would come out of the coma.
He regularly posted numerous photos on social networks after visiting his son in the hospital, including on various holidays. — Bernama

‘We have nothing to feed them': Gaza's children cry for food, but there's nothing left
NUSEIRAT (Palestinian Territories), July 21 — As malnutrition surges in war-torn Gaza, tens of thousands of children and women require urgent treatment, according to the UN, while aid enters the blockaded Palestinian territory at a trickle. Gaza's civil defence agency told AFP it has noted a rising number of infant deaths caused by 'severe hunger and malnutrition', reporting at least three such deaths in the past week. 'These heartbreaking cases were not caused by direct bombing but by starvation, the lack of baby formula and the absence of basic healthcare,' civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP. Ziad Musleh, a 45-year-old father displaced from Gaza's north to the central city of Nuseirat, told AFP: 'We are dying, our children are dying and we can't do anything to stop it.' 'Our children cry and scream for food. They go to sleep in pain, in hunger, with empty stomachs. There is absolutely no food. 'And if by chance a small amount appears in the market, the prices are outrageous — no one can afford it.' At a food distribution site in a UN-school-turned-shelter in Nuseirat on Sunday, children entertained themselves by banging on their plates as they waited for their turn. Several of them had faces stretched thin by hunger, an AFP journalist reported. Umm Sameh Abu Zeina, whose cheekbones protruded from her thin face as she waited for food in Nuseirat, said she had lost 35 kilograms (77 pounds). 'We do not eat enough. I don't eat, I leave the food I receive for my daughter,' she said, adding that she had a range of health conditions, including high blood pressure and diabetes. The father of Yahya Fadi al-Najjar, who died due to malnourishment, holds his body during the funeral at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip July 20, 2025. — AFP pic Depleted stocks Gazans as well as the UN and aid organisations frequently complain that depleted stocks have sent prices skyrocketing for what little food is available in the markets. The UN's World Food Programme (WFP) warned in early July that the price of flour for bread was 3,000 times more expensive than before the war began more than 21 months ago. WFP director Carl Skau, who visited Gaza City in early July, described the situation as 'the worst I've ever seen'. 'A father I met had lost 25 kilograms in the past two months. People are starving, while we have food just across the border,' he said in a statement. After talks to extend a six-week ceasefire broke down, Israel imposed a full blockade on Gaza on March 2, allowing nothing in until trucks were again permitted at a trickle in late May. As stocks accumulated during the ceasefire gradually depleted, the Palestinian territory experienced the worst shortages since the start of the war. 'Our kitchens are empty; they are now serving hot water with a bit of pasta floating in it,' said Skau. 'I'm always hungry' The effects of malnutrition on children and pregnant women can be particularly dire. Medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said last week that its teams are seeing the highest number of malnutrition cases ever recorded by its teams in Gaza. 'Due to widespread malnutrition among pregnant women and poor water and sanitation levels, many babies are being born prematurely,' said Joanne Perry, an MSF doctor in Gaza. 'Our neonatal intensive care unit is severely overcrowded, with four to five babies sharing a single incubator.' Amina Wafi, a 10-year-old girl from the southern Gaza city of Khan Yunis, said she thinks of food constantly. 'I'm always hungry. I always tell my father, 'I want food', and he promises he'll bring me something but there is none, and he simply can't,' she told AFP. MSF said that patients at its Gaza clinics do not heal properly from their wounds due to protein deficiency, and that the lack of food causes infections to last longer than they would in healthy individuals. Hamas's 2023 attack led to the deaths of 1,219 people, most of them civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official figures. Israel's retaliatory offensive has killed at least 58,895 Palestinians, most of them civilians, according to Hamas-run Gaza's health ministry. The UN considers these figures to be reliable. — AFP
