However, because the parent had no medical insurance, they were indebted to the tune of $120,000 for the whole medical care to keep the babies alive.

Reacting to the gesture displayed by the prince, Abdulkareem said he will name two of his children after Mohammed while the girls will as well be named after the hospital where they were born.

“It’s just a huge favour, and we are still in shock because we didn’t even know how to get the money. I had been sleepless wondering how to pay the bill,” said Abdulkareem.
