KRCS continues to aid Syrian refugees in Lebanon

Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) continued yesterday to provide relief aid and assistance to the Syrian refugees residing in Lebanon. Head of the KRCS field team Talal Al-Khattaf said that the society provided around 5,000 liters of diesel to some 250 Syrian refugee families in Beqaa district, eastern Lebanon. Hopefully this small aid gesture will help these families fend off the harsh cold winter, said the official. There are around one million Syrian refugees in Lebanon escaping from the ongoing war raging since 2011 in their country. Recently, the city of Aleppo, besieged by Syrian regime forces and allies, had been subjected to a ruthless onslaught that resulted in the death and injury of many Syrians. The crisis in Aleppo is expected to worsen the humanitarian situation in Syria and nearby countries. — KUNA
