Sharjah24: Alia Al Zaabi, Director of the Social Aid Department in Sharjah Social Services Department, revealed that the department granted 9,764 "Sanad" bank cards to beneficiaries of social assistance for cases registered with it during the first quarter of this year.

Al-Zaabi noted that the increase in the percentage of registered cases led to an increase in the volume and value of social assistance provided in previous years, and the reason was due to the conditions of life and the high cost of living.

The most beneficiaries of social assistance are the widows, divorcees, and low-income registered retirees, the retiree who receives assistance from the Ministry of Social Affairs, and the retired beneficiary of wage support.

Al Zaabi indicates that all information about the beneficiary of all categories is surveyed about his various conditions through an inquiry link with various government departments in the country, which is more than 20 information agencies in Sharjah.
