Charities allowed to resume work under health, safety precautions

AMMAN - The Ministry of Social Development has permitted charities to resume their work under the health and safety precautions imposed on economic sectors.. "After work has resumed in nearly all economic sectors and the movement of individuals and vehicles has been eased, charities are permitted to carry on with their work, although preferably remotely," said Secretary General of the Ministry of Social Development Barq Dmour.. "We were informed by the ministry that we were allowed to continue distributing food parcels and other necessities to the underprivileged as that is considered essential work," he added.. Dmour said that if there are monthly cash distributions to orphans or underprivileged families, then the charity must help create electronic wallets for each beneficiary or deliver the money without any "unnecessary gathering of people"..
