IRBIL, Jan 15 (KUNA) -- Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) distributed on Sunday 1,200 food baskets to displaced Iraqi families residing in camps in the autonomous region of Kurdistan.
Speaking to KUNA, Kuwait's Consul General in Irbil Dr. Omar Al-Kandari said that the aid is part of "humanitarian efforts to mitigate the misery of the Iraqi people." Moreover, Al-Kandari noted that KRCS has launched a comprehensive aid package for displaced Iraqis, which includes providing them with nutritious food baskets, adding that Kuwait's General Consulate will help facilitate the aid process.
Meanwhile, KRCS's Director of Disaster Management Yousef Al-Miraj told KUNA that KRCS has "delivered humanitarian aid to 1,200 families, all of whom were the recipients of food baskets." On the "varied" aid package, Al-Miraj said that it covers the basic needs of displaced families in Iraq's Kurdistan region.
In a statement to KUNA, Al-Barzani Charity official Mohammad Baha-el-Din thanked Kuwait for the "copious amount" of humanitarian aid given to displaced Iraqis.
Kuwait has doled out an incessant flow of aid to displaced Iraqis since 2015, where some 130,000 food baskets were delivered to displaced Iraqis and Syrian refugees. (end) sbr.nam
