Kuwait continues sending relief to people in need

KUWAIT: Kuwaiti charities continued extending a hand of mercy for stricken nations and communities throughout the globe. The delight inspired by marking Kuwait’s national days is doubled with the relief efforts, bringing a measure of joy for the impoverished across the world. The Kuwaiti charities and relief associations have been heeding guidelines by His Highness the Amir Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah to aid peoples in need wherever possible.

Dhari Al-Buaijan, the director general of Al-Salam humanitarian society, said the association dispatched 400 truckloads of humanitarian supplies to the refugees and displaced from Syria and Yemen. In remarks to the press, on sidelines of concluding the eighth edition of the humanitarian campaign “Kuwait’s trucks 2022,” he disclosed that total aid value provided by the society reached as high as KD 1.439,491 (approximately $4.759,434). The campaign, organized in coordination with the ministries of foreign and social affairs, benefited thousands of refugees, many faced difficulties in coping with the winter conditions and ramifications of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

The Kuwaiti assistance supplies, Buaijan added, reached, in the latest phase of the campaign that kicked off in 2016, up to 2,000 refugee camps. Meanwhile, Dr Abdullah Al-Maatouq, Chairperson of the International Islamic Charity Organization (IICO)
