Algeria: Official Decision to Prohibit Filming of Ramadan Aid

The local authorities in Algeria have issued a decision prohibiting the filming of the distribution of "Ramadan baskets" within the municipalities of Oran Province, in a move aimed at preserving the privacy of needy families and preventing the exploitation of their images for publicity or media display. The decision came under the directives of the province's governor, Ibrahim Ouchan, who emphasized the necessity of providing social support in a manner that preserves the dignity of citizens.

Enhancing Solidarity Work Away from Media Display

According to local reports, the authorities aim through this decision to ensure that aid reaches its rightful recipients in a humane manner that respects the feelings of beneficiaries, especially since filming distribution operations may cause psychological or social embarrassment for some families, particularly children and the elderly. This approach is part of efforts to organize charitable work in a way that reflects the true values of solidarity within the community.

Additional Support for the Homeless During the Holy Month

The authorities confirmed the necessity of providing special care for the homeless by offering them daily meals throughout the month of Ramadan, as part of social plans aimed at expanding the support umbrella for the most needy groups, stressing that solidarity work must be based on respecting human dignity before any other considerations.

Financial Aid Distributed to Thousands of Beneficiaries

An official report indicated the completion of the distribution of solidarity grants to more than 65,000 beneficiaries since February 9, as part of the social support program designated to assist low-income families in meeting the requirements of the holy month and providing basic needs.

Measures to Regulate Markets and Ensure Goods Availability
Economically, the authorities announced the allocation of 10 local markets to provide widely consumed food items, with increased monitoring of prices and combating illegal commercial practices, in addition to awareness campaigns to reduce food waste during Ramadan.

Intensive Health Monitoring of Iftar Restaurants

In terms of health and services, the relevant authorities revealed that dozens of Iftar restaurants are undergoing inspections to ensure the safety of meals provided to citizens, alongside intensifying general cleanliness programs and providing potable water in various areas.

Social Praise for the Decision

The decision has been welcomed by specialists in the social field, who considered the step an important measure to protect vulnerable groups from feelings of embarrassment or discrimination, affirming that organizing charitable work contributes to enhancing its effectiveness and achieving its humanitarian goals more effectively.
