Kuwait provides further aid to needy in Kurdistan

IRBIL, July 26 (KUNA) -- The State of Kuwait General Consulate in this northern Iraqi city has overseen distribution of a new dispatch of relief supplies, provided by Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS), to displaced Iraqi families in Kurdistan.
Musaed Al-Klaib, the charge d'affaires of the General Consulate, said in a statement to KUNA, on Tuesday, that the diplomatic mission supervised delivery of clothes to the relocated Iraqi families that had fled Ninawa and Salah-Eddine governorates, noting that it was heeding His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah's guidelines, the UN-designated Humanitarian Leader, for aiding the violence affected Iraqis.
Yousef Al-Mearaj, head of the KRCS field team, said the batch was the eighth to be given by Kuwait to those in need in Kurdistan.
The KRCS had already handed over relief supplies to displaced families in Al-Sulaimaniah, Al-Anbar, Al-Falloujah and Salah-Eddine.
The State of Kuwaiti started its humanitarian campaign in Iraq last year, where 80,000 food parcels were handed over to the relocated in Kurdistan. Since start of this year, 45,000 food packages had been provided to the needy in several Iraqi Kurdish regions. (end) sbr.rk
