Clarification of what was published in a newspaper

Wednesday, 22 March 2023

One of the newspapers published information about the army command receiving money from the military in exchange for food items that are donated to the military institution, and about the command paying sums in US dollars in exchange for insurance for pharmacies and military clinics.

It is important for the army command to point out that the rate of food aid has recently been much lower than it was in the past. In light of the severe crisis that the country is suffering from and the military is feeling its brunt, the Army Command has worked, starting from 2021, to secure packed food rations for those who wish from the military through civilian contractors at a symbolic price and subsidized through the financial aid that the army receives. These quotas also benefit families of army martyrs and military personnel with special needs.

With regard to insurance, it does not include military dispensaries and pharmacies but rather includes specific quantities of medicines that are placed in purchase pharmacies in the army as a matter of trust and are paid for to pharmaceutical companies after selling them, so they are insured in the event of a fire or water leakage.
