Government explains food card deletions and support criteria

The Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade confirmed that the figures circulating about excluding 850,000 ration cards are inaccurate. It clarified that the data cleansing process is conducted in stages to ensure accuracy and prevent the exclusion of eligible beneficiaries. The criteria that may lead to the exclusion of non-eligible individuals include owning luxury cars, residing in upscale communities, paying high fees for international schools or universities, and demonstrating improved economic status. The ministry emphasized that the cleansing procedures do not target low-income families or those in the first category of support, and are intended to ensure that assistance reaches its rightful recipients.
