BAGHDAD, March 4 (KUNA) -- Kuwait Relief Society distributed Saturday food supplies on needy people who were displaced from the Mid-South governorates.
Iraq's united medical society, the local partner of Kuwait Relief Society, said it distributed 1,500 food baskets on people displaced from Bablyon, Najaf and Karbala.
The distribution of food took place under supervision of Kuwait's Ambassador to Iraq Salem Al-Zamanan and in coordination with the civilian crises cell at the Premiership, Dr. Ahmad Al-Heeti, head of the Iraqi society, told KUNA.
He said the aid was part of Kuwait's "We are on your side" campaign to alleviate suffering of the displaced Iraqis nationwide.
The campaign began on February 22 with the inauguration of three make-shift schools in Ramadi, the largest city in Anbar governorate. (end) ahh.bs
