Kuwait Red Crescent delivers food to Syrians in Lebanon's northernmost region

BEIRUT, July 10 (KUNA) -- Kuwaiti relief teams distributed food parcels to Syrian refugees in Lebanon's northernmost region of Akkar, in the latest humanitarian action for relieving the civilians who fled the horrors of war at home.
Teams of Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) delivered the food provisions to more than 200 Syrian families at the refugee camps in Akkar, said Yousef Abdulrazzak Al-Najjar, the KRCS chief in Lebanon, in a statement to Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Sunday.
A KRCS delegation visited Al-Rahma refugee camp in Al-Rihaniah, located close to the Lebanese-Syrian borders, to examine the refugees' conditions and needs, Al-Najjar added.
The Kuwaiti delegation comprised Al-Najjar, Abdulaziz Al-Ruwais and Meshari Al-Enezi.
The philanthropic organization distributed, during the past fasting month of Ramadan, more than 20 iftar meals, as well as food supplies, to the Syrian refugees in various regions in Lebanon.
The Kuwaiti relief agency started humanitarian aid for the estimated 1.5 million Syrian refugees in Lebanon when the Syrian crisis broke out more than five years ago. KRCS teams and voluntary workers have reached the refugees in farthest locations in Lebanon. Hard terrain and weather, particularly snowy weather, have not hindered the Kuwaiti relief operations for the refugees. (end) wsm.rk
