“620 thousand needy families or families with limited income have so far received the exceptional social 300-dinar assistance to cope with the repercussions of the COVID-19,” said Friday Chief of Staff of the Minister of Social Affairs Fathi Ben Ameur.

The latter pointed out in a statement to TAP on the fringes of the annual forum of the Office of Tunisians Abroad that to date, nearly one million 172 thousand families have registered on the amen.social.tn platform to benefit from this exceptional assistance granted through a World Bank credit.

The official said that anyone whose application has been refused can, from next week, lodge an objection on the same platform and submit the necessary supporting documents.

He indicated in this regard, that the platform has helped make the necessary cross-checks and to better target the granting of assistance.

A 300-million-dinar credit was granted to Tunisia by the World Bank to finance exceptional assistance to families affected by COVID-19.
