Kuwait city: Today marks significant events in Kuwait's history, reflecting the nation's evolution and resilience. Notable among these occurrences is the signing of a law by Kuwait Amir Sheikh Abdullah Al-Salem Al-Sabah, establishing that military medals be awarded through an Amiri Order and defining the hierarchy of these honors.
According to Kuwait News Agency, in 2006, a bill was sanctioned by the Kuwait Government, granting each citizen a one-time financial aid of KD 200, following the directive of Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah. A year later, in 2007, the Ministry of Health announced that Kuwait had successfully eradicated bird flu, marking three months since the last reported case.
The year 2008 witnessed the solemn burial of Fawzi Abdulrasool Al-Majadi, who had been martyred during an operation against Israeli forces in the occupied Palestinian territories around two decades prior. His return and burial in Kuwait were significant moments of remembrance and honor for his sacrifice.
In 2013, the Ministry of Health inaugurated the Jaber Al-Ahmad Health Center, which features six family medicine clinics, enhancing the healthcare infrastructure in the region.
The year 2020 presented challenges and milestones as Kuwait Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah traveled to the United States for medical treatment. Concurrently, the Kuwaiti cabinet implemented the third phase of restoring normal life amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. This phase included an adjusted curfew from 09:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m., and permitted Eid Al-Adha prayers in mosques, prayer halls, and open areas, adhering to health protocols.
