DAMASCUS: The fourth humanitarian airlift flight from Kuwait arrived at Damascus International Airport on Wednesday, carrying 40 tons of food and shelter aid as part of the ongoing Kuwait airbridge campaign. The mission is aimed at assisting the most vulnerable groups in Syria under the humanitarian initiative “Kuwait By Your Side,” organized by the Al-Salam Charitable and Humanitarian Society, in coordination with Kuwait’s Ministries of Social Affairs, Foreign Affairs, and Defense, with the support of the Kuwait Air Force.

Dina Salameh, spokesperson for the Syrian Arab Red Crescent, told Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that Kuwait is in continuous contact with the Syrian Red Crescent to assess essential needs and expedite deliveries. The assistance is immediately distributed to the most vulnerable families, including those caring for the disabled, people suffering from chronic illnesses, and those unable to support themselves due to extreme poverty and harsh living conditions.

The aid has been distributed in various regions, including Daraa, Lattakia, and Homs, where the humanitarian situation remains dire due to consecutive crises. Salama praised the efforts of the Kuwaiti authorities and charitable organizations for their ongoing humanitarian work, emphasizing that this reflects the true spirit of the Kuwaiti people. — KUNA
