– The UN’s refugee agency (UNHCR) on Tuesday heaped praise on Kuwaiti aid directed at refugees and displaced persons in the Horn of Africa, hailing the country as a trusted partner in humanitarian endeavors.

Kuwait’s contributions towards humanitarian causes on the global stage have been exemplary, UNHCR Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa Ambassador Mohamed Affey told KUNA after talks with the deputy chief of Kuwait Red Crescent Society Anwar Al-Hassawi.

As Horn of Africa member nations face mounting humanitarian needs, such aid provided by Kuwait has become all the more imperative, the UNHCR envoy underlined, while the Kuwaiti Red Crescent official emphasized that the assistance needs to be perpetual.

On the global refugee crisis, he described it as an urgent matter that should be addressed through the collective efforts of the international community.
