    What's the story

    A Saudi Arabian Airlines Airbus A330 jet was forced to make an emergency landing in Jeddah after suffering a malfunction in the hydraulic system.

    The aircraft was travelling from Medina to Dhaka with 151 people on board, but had to be diverted to Jeddah late Monday.

    Fifty-three passengers were injured, including one female passenger who suffered a fracture during the evacuation.
