Speaking to Kuwait News Agency, Al-Faleej stated that the visit is part of the national plan to strengthen the country’s emergency response system and establish strict safety standards for storing food supplies in shelter facilities.

The inspection focused on evaluating the efficiency of food storage systems and ensuring measures are in place to prevent waste or loss of supplies. The initiative also aims to guarantee safe and reliable access to food for different segments of society during emergencies, while enhancing the readiness of national facilities to respond to various crisis situations.

Al-Faleej stressed that authorities continue to monitor the country’s food security system in a precise and systematic manner, maintaining coordination with relevant government entities to ensure a safe and sustainable food environment across all state facilities.
