The Kuwaiti relief associations, namely Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS), have pursued humanitarian activities abroad aiding those in need particularly refugees struggling to cope with the difficult winter conditions.

In Jordan, the KRCS teams distributed winter clothes and aided up to 1,200 Syrian refugee families. The Kuwaiti humanitarian campaign was inaugurated at a shanty town in the Jordanian capital, with aid by the Jordanian Red Crescent.

KRCS Chairperson Dr. Hilal Al-Sayer, who attended the activity, indicated that the society distributed coupons to the Syrian refugees at the camp and other locations in the country to buy necessities for the winter season.

Dr. Al-Sayer, however, indicated that many of the Syrian refugees needed other forms of help, such as education and housing, thus he appealed to the international community to give a hand for soothing their hardships and improve their livelihood.

Moreover, the KRCS teams distributed gifts and material assistance to children at the Amman shanty town, drawing deep appreciation on part of the residents.

The visiting Kuwaiti delegation, headed by Dr. Al-Sayer, had also gone to a clinic in Amman where the society covers costs for treating patients, with support from Kuwait Finance House. Some of the patients were Palestinians and others from Syria.

Furthermore, the KRCS, a few days ago, launched a full-scale medical program, conducting more than 90 surgeries, in collaboration with Jordanian medical personnel.

In Bosnia-Herzegovina, the State of Kuwait Embassy declared that it had received a donated dialysis device, to be shifted to Travink Hospital in the capital Sarajevo.

In war-stricken Yemen, the Kuwaiti Abdullah Al-Nouri Charity dug a water well in the province of Al-Dalea’ in the south, as part of Kuwait seven-year “Kuwait on Your Side Campaign.”
