(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) GAZA, Dec 2 (KUNA) -- Kuwait's Namaa Charity, part of the Social Reform Society, announced Tuesday a Gaza relief project providing one food parcel to each of 3,353 families, benefiting about 20,118 people with an average of six members per family.

Khaled Al-Shammari, Head of Development and Relief Sector at Namaa, said in a press statement that the project aims to ease the suffering of thousands of families and improve food security in Gaza amid very difficult humanitarian conditions, where basic needs are rising and food supplies are shrinking.

He underlined that this initiative is part of Namaa's ongoing commitment to support the Palestinian people and help families facing exceptional hardship.

Supporting 3,353 families despite logistical and humanitarian challenges inside Gaza is a significant achievement that reflects the strength of Namaa's local partnerships and the effectiveness of its relief operations, he explained, noting that each food parcel includes essential items that cover daily needs and help reduce the impact of severe food shortages.

The average of six members per family reflects the nature of Palestinian households and their urgent need for regular food assistance, especially with rising displacement and loss of income, he mentioned.

Namaa follows strict field procedures to ensure aid reaches those most in need, without discrimination, with priority for vulnerable groups such as women, children, the elderly, and families of martyrs and the wounded, Al-Shamari pointed out.

The charity is expanding its work in Gaza beyond food aid to include water, clothing, shelter, and child care as part of an integrated humanitarian plan, he added.

He underscored that standing by the people of Gaza is a moral duty and that these initiatives are not temporary assistance, but a message of human solidarity that reflects the values of Kuwait and its people. (end)
