KUWAIT: Kuwait has delivered a total of 110 tons of essential food supplies to Palestinians in Gaza through its second humanitarian airlift, officials say.
The eighth relief flight left Kuwait Sunday morning, carrying 10 tons of food, bound for Egypt’s Al-Arish Airport before being transferred to Gaza. The effort is part of a campaign organized by the Kuwaiti Red Crescent Society with support from local charities and government ministries, including foreign affairs, social affairs, and defense.

Khaled Al-Mughames, president of the Kuwaiti Red Crescent, highlighted ongoing cooperation with the Egyptian and Palestinian Red Crescent societies to overcome logistical obstacles. He also expressed hope that borders would open faster to allow urgent food and aid shipments into Gaza. “Kuwait will remain a supporter of our brothers and a backer of just humanitarian causes everywhere,” he added.
The second humanitarian airlift began on August 10, coordinated alongside the Kuwait Flour Mills and Bakeries Company. — KUNA
