RIYADH, March 9 (KUNA) -- Kuwait has distributed the first batch of shelter aid to the directorate of Tur Al-Bahah district of Lahij Governorate for the internally displaced persons (IDP) from Taiz city as part of the ongoing Kuwaiti humanitarian campaign in Yemen.
The "Kuwait is by your side" campaign's aid included cooking gas cylinders, cooking tools, blankets, and other necessary supplies for displaced families from districts of Haifan, Habshi Mountain, Mafalees, and Gabeeta in Taiz city, the Kuwaiti-Yemeni Relief Agency said in a press statement Thursday.
For his part, Alwan Al-Aateri, Director-General of Tur Al-Bahah district, expressed his gratitude to the Kuwaiti campaign for its care and interest in the displaced Yemeni families and persons, and its shelter aid that will alleviate their suffering in light of ongoing military confrontations by the district's borders.
The campaign had distributed relief items to many Yemeni several provinces of the war-troubled country. It aims at securing necessities to more than 50,000 Yemenis -- at a cost of USD 4.5 million.
The Kuwaiti campaign seeks to help the Yemenis by securing food, water, education and housing.
The agency comprises a number of Yemeni and Kuwaiti societies. (end) mdm.ma
