KUWAIT: The Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) announced the launch of a humanitarian project to provide water tankers in the Gaza Strip, in cooperation with the Palestinian Wafa Association for Development and Capacity Building. The initiative aims to ease the suffering of families impacted by the ongoing Zionist aggression and address the acute water shortage in the region. Chairman of KRCS’s Board of Directors Khaled Al-Mughamis said the project, valued at $676,500, reflects the Society’s steadfast commitment to supporting the Palestinian people. “This initiative is part of KRCS’s continuous humanitarian efforts to stand with our Palestinian brothers in times of crisis,” Al-Mughamis told KUNA. He affirmed the Society’s dedication to implementing further relief and development projects in collaboration with Palestinian partners, to help meet essential needs and improve the deteriorating living conditions of displaced and affected families.

Al-Mughamis explained that the Gaza Strip faces a severe water crisis due to pollution of groundwater sources and the damaged water infrastructure—consequences of the long-standing blockade and recurrent attacks.
“Transporting water through tankers has become a vital method to deliver safe water to families who lack access to clean and usable supplies,” he added.
He also highlighted KRCS’s commitment to carrying out a range of humanitarian projects in Gaza, including the provision of food baskets, medical supplies, ambulances, and the establishment of a field hospital to bolster the health sector and address the urgent needs of civilians. Al-Mughamis extended his gratitude to all donors and supporters of these life-saving initiatives, reiterating the Society’s unwavering resolve to pursue its humanitarian mission and support just causes around the world. – KUNA
