Kuwaiti delegation launches electronic library in occupied
RAMALLAH, Sept 25 (KUNA) -- A delegation from the Kuwaiti society for aiding students and Abdulbaqi Nouri charity inaugurated on Sunday four electronic libraries at Palestinian universities in the West Bank and renovation of a school for girls in Hebron.
Talal Abdulkarim, the society's chairman, told KUNA that the school was reopened after renovation, in coordination with the Al-Zaytounah Youth Society, at expense of Nouri charity. A new hall has been built and named "Kuwait wing for knowledge and technology." Kuwait electronic library was launched at the universities in Jerusalem, Abu Dais, Hebron and Khaddori in Tulkarm. They were equipped with state-of-art computers and networks.
The e-library includes contents of 120,000 books and 4,400 scientific references.
The Kuwaiti society established 34 of such libraries in Arab countries, but the lion's share was for the Palestinians; 11 at universities in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
The Kuwaiti delegation included Mahmoud Al-Nouri, the renowned businessman Adnan Al-Bahar and Abdulrahman Jamal Al-Nouri.
The society has granted teaching scholarships to the Palestinians since 2012. (end) nq.rk
