Hawalli Security Directorate and the Kuwait Municipality raided the area around the Philippine Embassy in the suburb of Al-Siddiq after receiving complaints that street vendors were very active in the area selling mostly home-made food, reports Al-Anba daily.

The daily said the authorities called this an uncivilized activity as it causes inconvenience to the people visiting the embassy.

The source said, when the vendors saw the Municipality workers and police, they fled from the area leaving behind their belongings which were then confiscated.

Some of the foodstuffs sold were found to be expired and unfit for human consumption.
