KUWAIT: Officials from Kuwait’s Society for Relief on Sunday signed a $500,000 deal with Egypt’s Dar Al-Orman charity to provide urgent humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza, Kuwait News Agency reported.

Dr. Mohammed Al-Sharhan, a member of the Kuwaiti charity’s board of trustees, said the agreement was in line with the directives of Kuwait’s leaders to “amplify” the scope of aid to the Palestinians.

He highlighted previous aid programs aimed at Palestinians in Gaza, including an air bridge that transported approximately 500 tons of humanitarian aid.
