As most of our countries are facing unprecedented challenges due to the arise of the COVID-19 pandemic, the stress on government agencies has been leveled extreme. The economic impact of COVID-19 on countries is disastrous, aggravating the situation of many in need. In Jordan, for instance, the nation-wide lock down over the past few weeks has substantially affected people with low income; specifically, the impact on those who work on a daily basis income has been marked substantial as they are unable to attend to their duties nor get the appropriate nutrition for survival. Through the King Hussein Cancer Foundation, our initiative is to support concern hospitals in Jordan with the COVID health requirement during these difficult times.
