Sana'a - Saba:
Minister of Social Affairs and Labor Samir Baja'alah on Sunday visited Sana'a branch of the Social Affairs and Labor Office to assess workflow following the Eid al-Fitr holiday.
During his visit, Minister Baja'alah met with branch manager Abdulrahman al-Arjali and staff, receiving updates on their activities and progress.
He emphasized the importance of maintaining professional discipline, dedication, and service delivery to vulnerable populations, including displaced and affected individuals, within the framework of their assigned tasks. He highlighted the expansion of these tasks due to the ongoing integration of sectors under the "Government of Change and Construction."
The Minister stressed the ministry's commitment to leveraging expertise in humanitarian affairs and social protection to strengthen support programs for vulnerable groups. He acknowledged the challenges posed by the US aggression against Yemen and the withdrawal of international humanitarian organizations due to external pressure.
He stated that a crisis management team within the Ministry of Social Affairs is addressing these challenges.
Minister Baja'alah denounced the US and its allies' attempts to link political and humanitarian aid, particularly through the UNHCR, to pressure Yemen to abandon its support for Palestine. He asserted that Yemen, under the leadership of Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, would not be swayed.
Branch manager al-Arjali provided an overview of the branch's activities and reported that approximately 140,000 displaced and aggression-affected individuals are registered in Sana'a.
Minister Baja'alah toured the branch's departments, exchanging Eid greetings with employees and addressing their concerns. He emphasized the importance of fulfilling commitments and achieving the government's goals.
