Cabin crew praises sick Umrah pilgrim by feeding him with their hands

A rare example of humanity on a Saudi Airlines flight has gone viral on social media. An elderly Umrah pilgrim suffering from Parkinson's disease was unable to eat with his own hands. The flight's cabin crew patiently and compassionately fed him with their hands, as can be clearly seen in the video.

In the 39-second video posted on Saudia Aviation's official X (formerly Twitter) account, the passenger is seen struggling to pick up food due to shaking and weakness. A crew member next to him is feeding him with a spoon.

As soon as the video went viral, a storm of praise erupted on social media. Many wrote,

"This is true humanity."

"The Saudi Airlines employee really deserves praise."

Experts believe that the elderly passenger was suffering from Parkinson's disease, which reduces body movement and control.

International flights carrying Umrah pilgrims are often crowded with elderly pilgrims, requiring the crew to perform additional duties. Yet the flight attendant's compassionate behavior, which went beyond the call of duty, has been praised around the world as an example of humanity.
