KUWAIT: Kuwait’s Namaa Charity Society continues its extensive humanitarian campaigns, bringing aid to vulnerable populations in Gaza and Yemen. In the northern Gaza Strip, Namaa Charity launched a winter relief campaign to support forcibly displaced. The initiative included the distribution of leather and nylon tarps, winter clothing, tents and food supplies to those in need.

“This campaign is part of our ongoing humanitarian response to alleviate the suffering of our people in the Gaza Strip, who endure difficult conditions, especially during the winter season,” said Abdulaziz Al-Kandari, Namaa Charity’s Executive Vice President. Al-Kandari highlighted that this aid is part of a series of relief projects designed to improve the living conditions of families facing severe hardships. He also expressed deep gratitude to the people of Kuwait for their unwavering generosity, describing their support as a source of hope for refugees.

Marwan Muhaisen, President of the Wafa Association for Development and Capacity Building, praised Kuwait’s leadership, government and people for their vital contributions to Gaza. “The distribution of leather and nylon tarps addresses the urgent need to protect refugee families from harsh winter conditions, where rain and floods pose a direct threat to their lives,” he said. Muhaisen emphasized that Kuwaiti aid significantly alleviates the suffering of refugees living in camps with inadequate infrastructure.

Simultaneously, Namaa Charity has extended its winter relief efforts to Yemen, where harsh winter conditions also threaten vulnerable communities. In Yemen’s Marib and Ibb governorates, the organization distributed blankets and winter clothing to more than 1,000 individuals, including children and the elderly.

Jamal Al-Faqih, Director of the Heteen Foundation, which executed the project, expressed his gratitude to Kuwait’s leadership, government and people, as well as to Namaa Charity, for their ongoing support. “This campaign aims to alleviate the winter hardships faced by Yemeni families by providing essential supplies to ensure warmth and protection,” he said.

Al-Faqih commended Kuwait’s longstanding commitment to supporting Yemen, noting that the country has consistently demonstrated exemplary leadership in global humanitarian and relief efforts. Namaa Charity’s campaign in Yemen has been running for 10 years. Last week, the organization distributed winter essentials to around 5,000 individuals across various Yemeni governorates. — KUNA
