Several news websites report that the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare gave over 50 food packages and 100 packages with gifts to poor families of Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian (RAE) communities on the occasion of New Year holidays. A spokesman said the Ministry is always willing to support the needs of minority communities. “This is not the first time we are supporting these communities. The Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare has always supported minority communities, not only with humanitarian and social aid, but also in terms of employment,” the spokesman said.
