KUWAIT, Sept 21 (KUNA) -- The 11th relief plane of the second Kuwaiti air bridge departed Sunday, carrying 10 tons of food aid to Al-Arish Airport in Egypt, en route to the Gaza Strip.
The aircraft took off from Abdullah Al-Mubarak Air Base as part of the "Relief for Gaza" campaign, organized by Kuwait Red Crescent Society with Kuwaiti charities and coordinated with relevant ministries.
KRCS Chairman Khaled Al-Mughamis told KUNA the Society remains committed to delivering humanitarian support to Gaza, under the directives of Kuwait's leadership and in response to the worsening humanitarian situation.
He noted KRCS works closely with the Ministries of Social Affairs, Foreign Affairs, and Defense, as well as Kuwait's Embassy in Egypt and the Egyptian Red Crescent to ensure smooth aid delivery.
