The address comes as the country continues to deal with the effects of Cyclone Shaheen.
His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik addressed the nation today, and here are the highlights:
- The Ministerial Committee that was set up to assess and deal with the damage caused by Cyclone Shaheen, should work as fast as possible to help those who were affected. All the relevant government departments are required to facilitate and cooperate with the committee, and the committee’s work will be under the government’s direct supervision.
- A National Fund for Emergencies (NFE) will be set up in to deal with the effects of Cyclone Shaheen, and any other natural disasters that may occur in the future.
- His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik expressed his appreciation to all establishments and individuals who helped in managing the crisis, and specifically, the National Committee for Emergency Management (NCEM), the ROP, the armed forces, the security services, the citizens and residents who volunteered in the affected areas, the Shelter and Relief sectors, the support services, the private sector firms, the non-governmental organisations, and the volunteer teams – who all gave excellent examples of citizenship.
- Restoring a sense of normality to the cyclone-affected areas and providing them with the basic necessities, are the priorities at this stage.
- His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik thanked the leaders of brotherly and friendly countries for their show of support, asking God Almighty to spare them of any harm or calamity.
