His Majesty King Abdullah on Monday conducted an unannounced visit to Umm Ayyash town in Deir Alla District.

 

King Abdullah sought to check on the condition of two underprivileged families after receiving reports on their poor health, economic and social situation.

 

The visit is part of His Majesty’s humanitarian efforts to check upon underprivileged families, especially during the fasting month of Ramadan, to keep abreast of their needs.

 

The King visited the five-member family of Asma Falah, all suffering from heart disease and living in tough conditions, adding that the family members briefed the King on their living and medical needs.

 

His Majesty immediately issued directives to build a house for the family, furnish it entirely and provide Falah and her family with the necessities of a decent life, including treatment at the Royal Medical Services.

 

The King also visited Fihmi Balawneh, the sole breadwinner of a family of eight, six of whom are children.

 

Fihmi suffers from several chronic diseases that have made him unable to work and provide for his family.

 

His Majesty directed the concerned officials at the Royal Hashemite Court to build and fully furnish a house for the Balawnehs.

 

The King also issued directives to provide necessary treatment for the father.

 

The families thanked His Majesty for his visit and his efforts to meet their needs.

 

The king was accompanied by Royal Hashemite Court Chief Fayez Tarawneh and Royal Hashemite Court Secretary General Yousef Issawi, who also heads a committee entrusted with following up on Royal initiatives.
