Over 234mln commodities supplied to pilgrims during Haj: Saudi minister
RIYADH — The Saudi Ministry of Commerce announced that more than 234 million commodities and food products were supplied to pilgrims at the holy sites during this year's Hajj. Provision of these supplies was implemented in coordination with various government agencies and in partnership with the private sector. Among the most consumed items were juices and soft drinks, dairy products, bottled water, baked goods, canned foods, and a wide range of essential food and consumer products. The ministry's inspection teams initiated monitoring operations prior to the season by visiting sales outlets and ensuring the availability of goods to meet the needs of pilgrims. In addition to overseeing supply chains, the ministry conducted supervisory inspections of commercial establishments, retail points, and stalls to ensure compliance with consumer protection regulations. © Copyright 2022 The Saudi Gazette.

Co-op cyber attack leaves island shop shelves empty
Co-op cyber attack leaves island shop shelves empty Some Co-op stores across Scotland's islands have been running low on fresh food supplies following a cyber attack on the company. Co-op is the main retailer in Skye and pictures from its supermarket in Portree show row upon row of empty shelves. The disruption comes after the company told the BBC on Friday the attack on its systems had resulted in "significant" amounts of customer data being stolen. A Co-op spokesperson said deliveries to its stores were also impacted by the "sustained malicious attempts by hackers to access our systems", and staff were working around the clock to reduce disruption.
