Tunisian government has announced a wave of social reforms, following days of demonstrations by anti-austerity protesters. <br/><br/>Officials said plans had been submitted to parliament to reform medical care, housing and increase aid to the poor. Demonstrations began earlier this month after the government announced New Year tax and price increases in its 2018 budget. <br/><br/>People have taken to the streets against the budget measures, despite Prime Minister Yousef Chahed attempting to assure Tunisians that 2018 would be the country's last "difficult" year. <br/><br/>Interior ministry spokesman Khlifa Chibani said that 803 people had been arrested throughout the week on suspicion of violence, theft and looting during demonstrations. <br/><br/>He said 97 members of the country's security forces had been injured in the unrest, but did not say how many protestors had been hurt.
