said in a statement. Meanwhile, the representative of the World Food Program
and regional director in Iran, Najjar Germani pointed out that these generous
contributions by Kuwait will provide support for the province of Laurstan.

contributed to alleviating the suffering of the Yemenis, thanks to His Highness
the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah and the Kuwaiti government. In

assistance provided during the past years was very much needed and went to the
right place to contribute to saving lives and settling families and treating

effective and continuous relief efforts to alleviate the suffering of Yemenis,
he added.

Nouri pointed out
that the Kuwaiti government has allocated KD 100 million support for the
'Kuwait by your side' campaign to support the sectors of health, education,
accommodation, food and livelihoods two years ago, hoping to complete the use
and allocation of this support during this third year and will be requested
after additional support from the Kuwaiti government. The society' delegation
