Kuwait commences fundraising for Gazans

KUWAIT, Aug 10 (KUNA) -- The Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) on Wednesday launched a fundraising campaign as a sign of support and solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip against Israeli aggressions.
"The campaign is meant to help people in the Gaza Strip and to ease out their distress triggered by recurrent Israeli aggressions," KRCS Board Chairman Dr. Hilal Al-Sayer told KUNA.
The initiative, which is part of Kuwait's national and humanitarian duty towards the Palestinian people, would help provide relief, medical and fuel requirements for Gaza hospitals, Al-Sayer pointed out.
The Kuwaiti relief endeavor comes amid awfully difficult conditions experienced by the Palestinian people, especially Gazans, as a result of surging Israeli attacks on Palestinian territories, the charity chief added. (end) ss.mt
