KUWAIT: The Sheikh Abdullah Al-Nouri Charity Association announced the delivery of urgent humanitarian aid worth one million dollars to the people of the Gaza Strip, in cooperation with the United Nations World Food Program (WFP), as part of efforts to alleviate the worsening humanitarian crisis in the territory. Association advisor Jassim Al-Nouri told Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that the aid comes in response to the severe humanitarian conditions in Gaza, where residents face deteriorating health, food shortages and challenging living circumstances.
He stressed Kuwait’s longstanding commitment to supporting those in distress globally. Al-Nouri noted that the association has been monitoring aid preparation at WFP warehouses in Jordan to ensure shipments meet international humanitarian standards before reaching Gaza, in coordination with Jordanian authorities. The aid package includes infant formula, nutritional supplements, and ready-to-eat meals, targeting the most vulnerable groups, particularly infants and nursing mothers. Abdul Latif Al-Dawwas, Director of Resources and Media at the association, emphasized that the assistance is provided on behalf of the people of Kuwait to their brothers and sisters in Gaza, reflecting the Kuwaiti values of solidarity and compassion. He highlighted the importance of partnerships with trusted international organizations such as the WFP, which ensure transparency and fair distribution of aid while enhancing Kuwait’s reputation in the global humanitarian arena.
Al-Dawwas added that the association prioritizes building international partnerships to maximize the impact of Kuwaiti charitable initiatives and benefit from the exchange of expertise. The aid follows a cooperation agreement signed in September between the Sheikh Abdullah Al-Nouri Charity Society and the WFP, aimed at providing hot meals and nutritional supplements to nursing mothers and infants in Gaza. The $1 million contribution is dedicated entirely to delivering essential food and nutrition to the most vulnerable groups amid the sharp deterioration in living and health conditions in the besieged territory. — KUNA
