KUWAIT: The 42nd relief plane took off from the Kuwaiti Air Bridge on Sunday, heading to the Egyptian Al-Arish Airport in preparation for its entry into the Gaza Strip. The plane carries ten tons of medical supplies and blankets. Director of the Administrative Sector at the Kuwait Red Crescent Society Yousef Al-Maraj told KUNA before the take-off that the Society’s aid would continue in implementation of the directives of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah to operate the air bridge in support of the brothers in Gaza.

Al-Maraj pointed out that Kuwait is playing a great role as a center for humanitarian work and it is standing by the brothers in Palestine, especially in the Gaza Strip. He said that the humanitarian aid comes within the framework of Kuwait’s full support for the brotherly Palestinian people in the difficult humanitarian conditions they are currently exposed to as a result of the devastating Zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip.

He pointed out that the Kuwaiti relief air bridge planes are accompanied by volunteers to deliver humanitarian aid to the Egyptian Red Crescent, expressing the hope that this aid will contribute to alleviating the suffering of the brotherly Palestinian people.

He expressed his gratitude to the Kuwaiti ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defense for their keenness to maintain constant communication, provide all the needs of the Palestinian people and facilitate the transfer of aid. He stated that the “Help Palestine” campaign, through the association’s website, aims to deliver humanitarian aid to thousands of affected people, provide food supplies and medical aid, and assist families affected by the bombing and destruction caused by the Zionist aggression. — KUNA
