— The Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) announced Saturday that it would dispatch urgent medical aid to Gaza Strip to make up for an acute shortage in medicine and medical equipment in the besieged strip’s hospitals.

In statements to KUNA, Secretary General of the KRCS Maha Al-Barjas said the Kuwait society had contacted the Egyptian authorities to allow the Kuwaiti aid to enter to Strip through Rafah Crossing.

The KRCS had also contacted the Palestinian Red Crescent Society to get a list of the desperately needed medicine and equipment, she said.

Al-Berjas added that the Kuwait aid were meant to help Gaza hospitals provide required medical care and treatment for victims of the ongoing Israeli onslaught.

She pointed out that the KRCS had also plans to launch a number of drives in cooperation with national and international charities to help people affected by the Israeli attack on Gaza Strip.
