Ministerial Committee approves financial aid for public sector

A Ministerial Committee approved Wednesday a financial aid for public sector employees.

Employees would be given an aid that is worth a full salary, and a daily transport allowance of LBP 95,000.

They will also get extra compensation for every day they work.

Public sector employees have been on an open strike for weeks now to demand an adjustment of their salaries, amid dire living conditions.

They had already refused the government's offer, accusing authorities of taking their demands lightly.
