Assistant Undersecretary of the Ministry of Social Affairs for Financial and Administrative Affairs and Cooperative Affairs, Dr. Sayed Issa Mahmoud, affirmed that all food commodities remain available across Kuwait’s cooperative societies, stressing that the country’s strategic stock is sufficient to meet demand.

Mahmoud explained that the ministry had activated its emergency plan even before the recent developments, ensuring that supply chains and inventory levels remain stable, reports Al-Rai daily.

He noted that the ministry operates a dedicated control room that monitors the situation in cooperative societies. “This room was established long before the current events. Through the monitoring screens, we can immediately identify any shortages and address them without delay,” he said.

Mahmoud added that the integrated financial and administrative system linking the ministry with cooperative societies provides real-time data on the number of employees, Kuwaitization levels, financial connections, and various operational activities.

He emphasized that the ministry’s primary role is to serve the public, adding that shelters across the country have been fully equipped. In coordination with Civil Defense, 95 locations have been approved and prepared as shelters.

Mahmoud reassured citizens and residents that Kuwait has ample resources to meet their needs, saying, “We live in a country of abundance where everything is available. Nothing is lacking, and we are committed to ensuring that all essential needs of citizens are met.”
