– Kuwait on Sunday delivered food and medical aid to some 14 million Afghans teetering on the edge of the poverty line, local charity Kuwait Society for Relief said on Sunday. The Kuwaiti charity will start distributing the aid package to Afghans starting on Tuesday, as the war-torn nation continues to suffer from a dearth of food and medical supplies, its chief Jamal Al-Nouri told a press conference.
“This initiative comes at a time where humanitarian conditions in Afghanistan are on a downward spiral,” said Assistant Foreign Minister for International Cooperation and Development Hamad Al-Mashaan.
On the initiative, the Kuwaiti diplomat said it epitomizes the generosity that Kuwaitis are known for, citing the country’s well-deserved “humanitarian center” moniker.
