A total of 800,000 Saudi families have received financial support of more than SAR900 (US240) in the second batch of the Citizen’s Account Program, knowing that the amount was deposited on January 10.

More than 21% housewives registered in the program as beneficiaries of the second financial installment -- the second batch of SAR2.1 billion (USD533 million) was made a few days earlier.

Some 52% of singles (male), 48% of singles (women), and 66% of families registered for financial support in the second batch, revealed the statement.

Citizen’s Account Program receives inquiries and calls through the call center on number 19912 from Sunday to Thursday, eight in the morning till ten evening. The customer service account Citizen_care@ and the e-portal www.ca.gov.sa are also available for inquiries.

The Citizen Account aims at alleviating possible direct and indirect consequences of economic reforms on Saudi households. Allowances are dispersed on the 20th of each month, unless it coincides with the weekend.

Kuwait's foreign ministry issued on Sunday a circular indicating that it had listed eight hospitals in Lebanon as part of regulations related to "combating terrorism.”

Lebanon's health ministry expressed surprise and said it would seek clarification.

It said it received the Kuwaiti statement "with great surprise", adding it had not been provided with "any information or notification from any Kuwaiti entity about this matter.”

"The hospitals mentioned in the statement are registered with the syndicate of private hospitals in Lebanon and carry out their role in providing treatment and health services to all Lebanese without exception," the ministry statement said.

It called the facilities "an essential part of the Lebanese health system,” and said it would contact the relevant authorities to request clarification and "protect Lebanon's health system.”

It noted that "Kuwait has numerous joint projects with the ministry... and has been among the most prominent countries that have stood by the health system during the successive crises that Lebanon has faced.”

The latest move was "unprecedented and inconsistent" with the Gulf country's usual approach, it added.
