Kuwait distribute aid for Comoros' cyclone Kenneth victims

MORONI, May 26 (KUNA) -- Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) said Sunday it distributed 210 food baskets in five villages in the north of Moroni, capital of Comoros, affected by cyclone Kenneth.
KRSC dispatched the aid at the request of the Comoros Red Crescent after many villages were damaged by cyclone Kenneth forcing many people to flee their homes, Khaled Al-Zaid, head of KRSC mission to Comoros, told KUNA.
"We will provide aid for the rest of villages and islands in cooperation with Comoros Red Crescent in order to reach the largest possible number of displaced," he said.
Al-Zaid hoped the two organizations would sign a one-year partnership to enable KRSC drill water wells, provide meals, build health clinics and help the needy.
President of Comoros Red Crescent Moustadrane Boinaidi said KRSC was the first red crescent to help Comoros.
He said KRSC and his organization were joining hands to help as many people as possible. (end) zh.bs
