Kuwait's first relief plane arrives in Egypt with aid for Gaza
ARISH, Egypt, August 11: A Kuwaiti military transport plane carrying 10 tons of food aid landed at El Arish International Airport on Sunday, marking the launch of the Kuwait Red Crescent Society's (KRCS) humanitarian airlift to Gaza, as part of the nationwide 'Kuwait by Your Side' campaign. The aid aims to ease the mounting humanitarian crisis faced by civilians in the Gaza Strip, where ongoing conflict has led to widespread shortages of food, medicine, and other essentials. Speaking to KUNA upon the aircraft's arrival, Kuwait's Ambassador to Egypt, Ghanim Al-Ghanim, extended his gratitude to His Highness the Amir Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah and His Highness the Crown Prince Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Sabah for their swift directives in launching the relief mission. Al-Ghanim also acknowledged the enduring solidarity of the Kuwaiti people, whose consistent support for the Palestinian cause remains strong, especially in times of crisis. He noted that the relief initiative stems from an urgent appeal by the Kuwaiti government, carried out in collaboration with the Ministry of Social Affairs and a number of charitable organizations across Kuwait. This effort resulted in the establishment of an air bridge dedicated to transporting humanitarian aid to the Palestinian territories. The ambassador highlighted that the first shipment was coordinated among the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Social Affairs, in addition to the Kuwait Red Crescent Society, and executed in cooperation with the Egyptian and Palestinian Red Crescent Societies. Al-Ghanim also expressed appreciation to the Egyptian authorities and the Egyptian Red Crescent for facilitating the arrival and planned distribution of aid destined for Gaza. Fawaz Al-Mazrouei, Director General of the Kuwait Red Crescent Society, who accompanied the relief flight, reaffirmed that the mission was carried out under the leadership directives of the Amir, Crown Prince, and Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Abdullah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah. 'This first shipment marks the beginning of Kuwait's renewed commitment to supporting our Palestinian brothers and sisters during this humanitarian emergency,' Al-Mazrouei said. He emphasized that the Kuwaiti airlift will continue in the coming days, delivering critical supplies based on assessed needs in Gaza. Coordination with Egyptian and Palestinian Red Crescent authorities will ensure aid is delivered swiftly and effectively to those most affected.

‘Partners for Yemen' conference kicks off with Kuwaiti support
KUALA LAMPUR: The second edition of the 'Partners for Yemen' conference began Saturday in Malaysia's capital, Kuala Lumpur, aiming to support education in Yemen. The event is sponsored and supported by Kuwait's International Islamic Charity Organization (IICO) alongside Kuwait's Rahma International Society. 'The people of Yemen are at the heart of our concerns,' Abdulrahman Al-Mutawa, Deputy General Manager for Projects at IICO, told KUNA on the sidelines of the conference. He emphasized that supporting education in Yemen 'is not a choice but a humanitarian duty' and an investment in Yemen's future. Al-Mutawa highlighted that IICO has worked extensively to support education especially in fragile conflict-affected areas, with Yemen being a top priority. 'Last year, our strategic initiatives led to the implementation of 126 education projects in 23 countries, in partnership with 56 local and international organizations,' he said. He added that these projects have benefited over 48,000 people, including more than 20,000 students receiving full sponsorship covering educational and developmental programs. Specifically in Yemen, IICO has carried out various education and humanitarian projects over the last five years worth nearly $11 million, collaborating with nine Yemeni organizations. These efforts have helped over 55,000 students inside Yemen and abroad. The projects include building three university colleges currently under construction, establishing and equipping 15 schools and technical institutes, implementing 27 higher education support projects, and 17 programs related to scholarships, sponsorships, and educational conferences. Al-Mutawa acknowledged that Yemen's educational needs still exceed current efforts. 'The scattered efforts need unification, coordination, and integration, which we hope this conference and real partnerships will achieve,' he said. Ghanem Al-Shaheen, Director of Programs and Projects at Rahma International, told KUNA this was the association's second time participating after the first conference in Istanbul. He noted Kuwait's charitable organizations and government institutions play a leading role in humanitarian support. 'We have contributed a lot to Yemen, especially in education, through our 'Tawasul' foundation there, which runs many educational projects in cooperation with the Yemeni International Development Agency organizing the conference,' he said. 'Kuwait, known as the 'Land of Humanity,' continues supporting humanitarian work worldwide.' Kuwait's Ambassador to Malaysia, Rashid Al-Saleh, said the conference reflects Kuwait's firm commitment to providing aid globally, especially in Yemen, which faces severe humanitarian challenges. He added that Kuwait's sponsorship and involvement in this conference demonstrate its belief in education as a pillar for community advancement. Yemen's Deputy Minister of Education Ali Al-Abab, praised the efforts of donor countries, including Kuwait, in supporting education and global humanitarian work. Al-Abab said the conference aims to mobilize funding specifically for education projects, considering education 'a key gateway to Yemen's progress and future.' He added the conference will discuss the challenges facing education and the humanitarian situation in Yemen and exchange ideas, experiences, and initiatives to confront these challenges. The opening ceremony included representatives from several regional and international institutions. Over two days, the conference sessions will address Yemen's worsening humanitarian crisis, one of the world's largest, highlighting the devastating impact of war on education, health, and the economy. Discussions will also focus on the limited international presence of Yemeni institutions, calling for new partnerships and ensuring the sustainability of humanitarian projects and efforts. — KUNA
