KUWAIT, Dec 24 (KUNA) -- Kuwait's eighth relief aid plane has departed to Lebanon, carrying onboard 30 tons of humanitarian aid involving foodstuff, medicine and blankets, said Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) Tuesday.
This aid is part of Kuwait's initiative entitled: "Kuwait Is by Your Side", mainly aiming at alleviating the humanitarian anguish of the Lebanese people due to Israeli occupation aggressions on the country, KRCS Board Chairman Ambassador Khaled Al-Mughamis told KUNA.
