45th relief plane

The 45th relief plane from the Kuwaiti air bridge took off from the Abdullah Mubarak Air Base, heading to Amman airport in Jordan with 10 tons of relief materials on board. The relief materials will be transported to the Gaza Strip to support the Palestinians. The Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) confirmed to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) before takeoff, the continuation of the assistance of the society and the Kuwaiti air bridge to support the people in Gaza in accordance with the directives of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.

KRCS pointed to the great role played by Kuwait as a center for global humanitarian action and its standing beside Palestinians, especially those in the Gaza Strip, in the face of the aggression of the Zionist occupation forces. The humanitarian assistance comes within the framework of Kuwait’s full support for Palestinians in the face of the difficult humanitarian conditions they are currently facing as a result of the continuation of the destructive Zionist aggression.

The relief planes are accompanied by volunteers to deliver humanitarian aid to the Jordanian Red Crescent. KRCS expressed thanks to the Kuwaiti ministries of foreign affairs and defense for their keenness to communicate constantly, provide for all the needs of the Palestinian people, and facilitate the transfer of aid. The campaign ‘Save Palestine’ aims to support Palestinians, especially those in the Gaza Strip, through the provision of food and medical supplies. — KUNA
