More than 7,500 food baskets have been distributed by the Northern Governorate within the “Your Food in Your Home” project launched by the Royal Humanitarian Foundation (RHF) in cooperation with the Ministry of Interior.

This is according to Northern Governor Ali bin Al Shaikh Al Asfour, who commended the generous directives of His Majesty the King’s Humanitarian Works and Youth Affairs representative, National Security Advisor and RHF Board of Trustees chairman His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, to support Bahraini families affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis through the “Feena Khair” campaign.

The Northern Governorate has coordinated with the Ministry of Labour and Social Development in distributing a number of the food baskets to several elderly care centres within the governorate. This was done in the presence of Deputy Northern Governor Brigadier Khaled bin Rabia Al Dossary, along with the Northern Governorate’s security coordination officer Major Salman Al Zarqawi and investment development head Issam Al Khayyat, and officials from the Labour Ministry.

The Northern Governor affirmed the governorate’s keenness to deliver these baskets to all kinds of beneficiaries, who have included families and individuals affected by the pandemic or a fire damaging their homes, people of determination, and families in need, through the activation of community partnerships between the governorate and civil society institutions. In addition, a number of food baskets have also been distributed to migrant workers affected by the current health crisis.
