KUWAIT: The Loyac Academy of Performing Arts - LAPA - organized the “Long Live the Olive Tree” festival for the second consecutive year. The festival, which launched last year on International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, contributes to raising awareness of the Palestinian issue and increasing its global supporters.

The initiative aims to provide basic food needs for those in need in the Gaza Strip amid the difficult conditions they suffer due to the blockade and starvation, in collaboration with the Arab Organization for the Protection of Nature in Jordan.
