KRCS distributes coupons to families in West Bank

Kuwait participates in diplomatic movement to stop Zionist aggression

Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) started distributing coupons to families in need in the West Bank through Wafaa Capacity Building and Microfinance. The project mainly targeted Jenin Refugee Camp, which was continuously attacked by Zionist occupation forces, resulting in difficult economic conditions since October 7. Director General of Wafaa Mohasen Atawneh said that this project helped provide thousands of Palestinians with necessities during the holy month of Ramadan, expressing his sincere appreciation to Kuwait’s Amir, government, and people for their continuous support since the beginning of the war.

Diplomatic movement

In another development, Kuwait participated in an Arab diplomatic movement in Brussels to exert pressure towards stopping the Zionist occupation aggression on Gaza as well as halting the ongoing violations against Palestinians in the West Bank. Kuwait’s Ambassador to Belgium, Nawaf Al-Enezi, told KUNA that this came during a meeting held on Tuesday by the Arab Contact Group on the Zionist occupation aggression on Gaza with the European Commissioner for Neighborhood Affairs and Enlargement, Oliver Varhelyi.

The ambassador added that they conveyed the Arab position on the need to stop the aggression on Gaza and ensure aid delivery, in addition to the importance of the continued support provided by the European Union to the Palestinian Authority and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). Ambassador Al-Enezi explained that the European Union is an important partner for the region, and due to the geographical proximity between the European Union and the Arab region, there are common challenges and interests.

He noted that the contact group stressed the need to pressure the Zionist occupation to stop the aggression and violations in the West Bank and the importance of lifting restrictions on access to Islamic and Christian holy places and stopping attacks on worshipers at Al-Aqsa Mosque. Ambassador Al-Enezi pointed out that the humanitarian aid provided by Kuwait to Gaza through the air bridge amounted to more than 1,500 tons, and the assistance provided by the Gulf Cooperation Council countries to UNRWA exceeded 1.3 billion dollars, making the Gulf countries one of the largest donors to the UN agency.
