KUWAIT: Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) announced yesterday distribution of 2,300 food parcels to Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh in coordination with Bangladesh Red Crescent Society. Each portion, handed over to a five-member family, is sufficient for two weeks, said Anwar Al-Hasawi, the KRCS Deputy Chairman and head of the society field team in Bangladesh.

He added that KRCS is continuing relief operations for the Rohingya either in coordination with local and international associations or directly by volunteers who have been doing their best to make sure that the aid supplies are delivered to those in need. The KRCS team has inspected refugees’ conditions in the region of Cox’s Bazar and a makeshift hospital built with contributions by the Kuwaiti, Bangladeshi and Qatari red crescents.
