KUWAIT CITY - 19 May 2018: Kuwait's Red Crescent Society (KRCS) launched last Tuesday a five-day campaign themed "Relieve Gaza," aimed at raising donations for Palestinian people, namely the Gazans.

KRCS Chairman Hilal Al-Sayer said in a statement to Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Saturday that the campaign is the latest of ongoing relief and humanitarian aid to brotherly and friendly nations, stricken with crises and hardships.

This campaign particularly aims at securing urgent needs such as medical supplies and medicines to treat victims of the Israeli attacks on the Palestinian people, he said, indicating that some aid had already reached hospitals and clinics in Gaza.

He affirmed keenness on standing on the side of the victims in Gaza and enhancing their capabilities to cope with the current circumstances.

This campaign reflects sincere feelings of the Kuwaiti people toward their brothers in Palestine, he said. The KRCS has prepared well for securing dispatch of the aid to the Palestinian people, in coordination with the State of Palestine and neighboring countries.

He urged citizens, especially businesspeople, to donate and help Palestinians cope with the current crisis.
