No Saudis affected; emergency room set up

This was in line with the direct instructions from Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman and the follow up of Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal Bin Farhan. The operations room will receive their communications and direct them with the necessary instructions for their safety and security.
"We have reported no cases of injury or casualties among Saudi citizens and they are all in good health," the embassy said in a statement.
The embassy has already warned, through its official account on Twitter, Saudi citizens in some of the affected states of Australia, and informed them of the necessity to follow the instructions of the local authorities.
It called on the citizens and students to take precaution against forest fires. In emergency cases or in the event of the desire to return to the Kingdom, they can contact the embassy on the following numbers of (0432257277/ 0412014803/ 04120147/02/ 0412014903) and through the email ([email protected]).
