KRCS readies convoy of relief and medical aid for Gaza

CAIRO: An official of the Kuwait Red Crescent Society announced on Wednesday a convoy of aid, relief and medical aid is being readied to send it to the Gaza Strip, in coordination and cooperation with the Egyptian and Palestinian Red Crescent Societies. Khaled Al-Zaid, Director of Public Relations and Media at KRCS and head of its mission in Cairo, told the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that the aid convoy will set off in two days to the Rafah crossing to deliver aid to Gaza.

Zaid referred to a donation campaign by the Kuwait Red Crescent Society about 10 days ago under the slogan “Gaza is in our hearts”, expressing thanks to the private sector and people for their fruitful cooperation with the society to buy health and relief materials for the Gaza Strip. He praised the joint cooperation with the Egyptian Red Crescent Society during the past period to introduce health, medical aid and medicines to people in the Gaza Strip following the recent Zionist attack on Palestinians in the Strip.

Around 10,000 food baskets have been distributed in the Gaza Strip in cooperation with the Palestinian Red Crescent, he said, in addition to distributing fuel to power stations, ambulances and hospitals.
