 People seeking more information and queries about the service are required to call the foundation daily, from 8 am until 2 pm, on 38104444 or 38284444.

 RHF Secretary-General and Coordination Committee Chairman, Dr. Mustapha Al-Sayyed, said that the applications would be studied in cooperation with competent authorities to ensure they meet the eligibility terms and provide affected cases with aid.
