KUWAIT, Feb 22 (KUNA) -- Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) has launched an online fund-raising campaign to ease out the woes of the people of Syria's eastern Ghouta.
The fresh humanitarian initiative started today (Thursday), with funds to be received online via the society's website as of next Tuesday, KRCS Board Chairman Hilal Al-Sayer said in a statement to KUNA.
The three-day fund-raising campaign is primarily intended to alleviate the hard humanitarian conditions of disarmed people in Ghouta which has come under stiff attacks by the Syrian regime, he added.
Thousands of children are facing the danger of death due to famine as a result of hard events in Ghouta, Al-Sayer pointed out.
The KRCS chief urged everyone to join the online humanitarian initiative entitled: "Save Ghouta", which targets urgent food and health aid.
Recent attacks in Eastern Ghouta have led to the death of hundreds of civilians, including women, children, and the elderly. (end) zak.tab.mt
