The Sultanate of Oman actively participated in the 43rd session of the Council of Arab Ministers for Social Affairs in Cairo. During the meeting, the Council approved the establishment of an extraordinary temporary fund, initially for a six-month period and subject to renewal, aimed at providing support and assistance to over 350,000 families in the Gaza Strip.

Oman's delegation, led by Her Excellency Dr. Laila bint Ahmed Al Najjar, Minister of Social Development, played a key role in the discussions. The three-day session resulted in the decision to create the temporary fund, with a focus on addressing the immediate needs of families in Gaza.
