KUWAIT: The Ministry of Social Affairs on Sunday launched an urgent humanitarian campaign to support the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS), and a number of local charitable organizations. In a statement, the ministry said the initiative reflects Kuwait’s longstanding humanitarian commitment and its unwavering support for just causes and people in crisis.
It also underscores the country’s consistent solidarity with the Palestinian people in light of the difficult conditions they are currently enduring. The campaign aims to provide essential food supplies, particularly flour and other basic items, to affected families in Gaza. Financial contributions can be made over a three-day period starting Sunday through the dedicated online platform.
As of the time of the statement’s release, the campaign had raised over KD 1,000,000 in donations. The ministry noted that it is also accepting in-kind food contributions in accordance with established guidelines. All food supplies will be sourced exclusively from the Kuwait Flour Mills and Bakeries Company, in line with Cabinet Resolution No 1461. The Kuwait Red Crescent Society will oversee the coordination and delivery of humanitarian aid to relief agencies operating in Egypt, Jordan, and Palestine, the statement added. — KUNA
