According to the Ministry of Interior, the Emergency Police General Department conducted the seven-day traffic blitz from July 19 to 25, issuing 24,979 citations across all governorates. Ministry figures show 223 vehicles and motorcycles were impounded during the campaign. The General Traffic Department carried out supporting operations from July 20 to 26, contributing to the preparation of 2,673 traffic reports. A total of 933 collisions were attended, resulting in 170 injuries, per the ministry’s July 28 announcement.
The ministry reported that 105 wanted individuals were arrested in the course of the blitz. Another 52 people with expired residency permits were also detained during the enforcement period. In parallel, 1,015 humanitarian aid packages were distributed by participating teams, the ministry said. The operation extended to every governorate as part of coordinated traffic and security measures.
The General Department of Traffic maintains an official website that provides e-services for violation inquiries and payments, according to the ministry portal. These services allow affected drivers to address the citations issued in the blitz efficiently. The platform is part of broader digital transformation efforts within the Ministry of Interior to facilitate public transactions.
Ministry of Interior statistics from prior periods indicate that traffic campaigns regularly result in thousands of citations each week. One recent week-long effort similarly involved responses to more than 1,000 road accidents, according to aggregated ministry data. The current figures fit within the pattern of regular intensive operations.
The Ministry of Interior operates an official mobile application that enables users to pay traffic violations and access other related services, according to the developer description on Google Play. The app supports quick resolution of fines from campaigns such as the recent blitz. Users can also view their driving licenses and vehicle documents digitally through the platform.
The operation included humanitarian assistance alongside the traffic enforcement, as detailed in the ministry’s update. Aid distribution took place in conjunction with patrols in every governorate. The ministry included these details in its summary of the week’s activities.
