AMMAN, July 1 (KUNA) -- Kuwait's Red Crescent Society (KRCS) will provide
the Syrian refugee families in the Kingdom of Jordan with Iftar
(fast-breaking) meals, as well as Eid clothing as Kuwait's humanitarian aid
for the Syrians in Jordan and Lebanon continue, head of KRCS delegation to
Jordan Khaled Al-Zaid told KUNA, Monday.
The humanitarian projects organized by KRCS for the Syrian refugees in the
neighboring countries to Syria come to fulfill the society's goals of
supporting the Syrian people by providing some of their needs during the holy
month of Ramadan, in addition to the "Ragheef" food aid initiative which still
continues as well, Al-Zaid said.
With regard to Iftar meals, he said that KRCS has chosen the Jordanian
cities in which the meals will be provided for the Syrian refugees during the
holy month, and they will be distributed in the north and the south of the
country.
The cities include Al-Naima, Al-Tarra, Al-Shajara, Madaba, Al-Karak, he
added, noting that the Iftar meals will be provided to about 15,000 families.
The society will carry out the Iftar program from the first day and
throughout the whole holy month. This is part of an ongoing Kuwaiti aid effort
launched with the beginning of the Syrian crisis over two years ago.
KRCS will include more refugees in its Eid clothing distribution as it
covers larger areas in Jordan.
Al-Zaid praised the cooperation between KRCS and its Jordanian counterpart
which facilitates distribution of aid and meeting aid campaign goals across
the governorates of the Kingdom.
He also praised the role played by the Kuwaiti Embassy in Jordan to
facilitate the task of the Kuwaiti delegation during its stay in the kingdom.
Meanwhile, KRCS's Ragheef project continues for the third month, aimed at
distributing daily food necessities for the Syrian refugees in Jordan and
Syria, he said. He stressed that "the society would not hesitate to provide
aid for our Syrian brothers, wherever they might be."
"Kuwait's aid efforts through KRCS to help those in need around the world
is nothing but a humanitarian duty to help those affected either by natural or
man-made disasters without regard to sex, race, or religion," stressed Al-Zaid.
