Reportedly around 140 passengers on board, so there would typically be a few minor injuries during a full-scale evacuation of that many pax.

FlightGlobal reports no serious injuries:

"An Onur Air Airbus A330-200 (TC-OCH), operating on behalf of Saudia on May 21, 2018, developed a problem sometime after take-off from Madinah, Saudi Arabia on a flight to Dhaka, Bangladesh and the pilot elected to divert to Jeddah. On arrival at Jeddah, when the undercarriage was selected down, the nose undercarriage apparently did not extend. Further attempts to get the undercarriage down were not successful and the aircraft eventually landed at Jeddah with the nose undercarriage retracted. There were no reported serious injuries to passengers or crew. The accident happened in darkness (2149L) but in VMC."
