'Red Crescent': Strengthening Partnership with Jordanian Charity Organization to Facilitate Aid Delivery to Beneficiaries in Gaza

Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) Chairman Khalid Al-Mughamsis affirmed the society’s commitment to strengthening its partnership with the Jordanian Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO) in implementing relief programs and projects, and in developing coordination mechanisms to facilitate the delivery of aid to its intended beneficiaries, particularly in the Gaza Strip.

This statement came in an interview with Al-Mughamsis with the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), following a visit by a KRCS delegation to the JHCO headquarters in Amman, where they discussed ways to enhance joint humanitarian and relief cooperation, aiming to improve the efficiency of humanitarian response and ensure that aid reaches the most vulnerable groups.

Al-Mughamsis praised the humanitarian role played by the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in supporting relief efforts and facilitating the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people, especially in the Gaza Strip. He clarified that the discussions covered existing areas of cooperation between the two sides, particularly regarding the reception, transfer, and follow-up of necessary procedures and arrangements to facilitate the delivery of Kuwaiti humanitarian aid to its beneficiaries, amid the challenges facing relief operations.

He noted that the parties discussed possible mechanisms to utilize Kuwaiti aid that had previously been sent and remains with the JHCO, but has been unable to reach the Gaza Strip due to current circumstances and difficulties in entering aid into the Strip.

He further indicated that both sides also discussed several future humanitarian projects and initiatives, and the possibility of expanding cooperation to include relief and development programs that respond to growing needs and contribute to achieving sustainable humanitarian impact. He stressed the importance of continuing coordination, exchanging expertise, and leveraging the capacities available to both institutions to overcome obstacles facing relief operations and enhance the effectiveness of joint humanitarian work.

For his part, JHCO Secretary-General Dr. Hussein Al-Shabli, in a similar statement to KUNA, praised the pioneering humanitarian role played by the State of Kuwait and its charitable institutions in supporting peoples affected by crises and disasters.
