Al-Halqi was speaking at the 4th session of the Council of General Federation of Trade Unions in the presence of a number of ministers who talked about the situation of electricity, drinking water, reform program and combating corruption.

He briefed participants on the situation of service and economic sectors in light of the terrorist systematized attacks on institutions which caused a drop in the public resources and service indicators of electricity and water, transport and decrease in the standard of living.

“The government has sought to achieve balance between resources and available potentials in order to boost the struggle of army, people and productive companies,” al-Halqi said.

He added that “the humanitarian file is a pressing one” and the government has approved the response plan for humanitarian purposes to ensure relieve means and good life for the displaced and compensate the affected people.
