Kuwaiti Parliamentarians Call for Cancellation of National Celebrations in Solidarity with Gaza
Parliamentarians Demand Solidarity with Gaza
A group of Kuwaiti parliamentarians has urged the government to cancel the national celebrations of Independence Day and Liberation Day on February 25 and 26. They believe that canceling these celebrations will show support and solidarity with the people of Gaza.
Strong Position Against Zionist Entity
Representative Dr. Falah Al-Hajri expressed his pride in Kuwait's strong stance against the criminal Zionist entity. However, he criticized any decision that contradicts this position, considering it a betrayal of the Palestinian cause. He highlighted the suffering of the people of Gaza, who have faced bombardment and lost thousands of lives.
Continuing Genocidal Crimes
MP Mutee Al-Azmi emphasized that the genocidal crimes committed by the Zionist entity against the people of Gaza are ongoing. He called for the continuation of the decision to cancel celebrations out of respect for the feelings of the people of Gaza and in honor of their martyrs.
Parties Inappropriate Amidst Tragedy
Representative Muhammad Hayef Al-Mutairi argued that holding parties and concerts, which include legal violations, is not appropriate considering the tragedy unfolding in Gaza. He emphasized the importance of unity and compassion among believers and criticized the division and weak sense of belonging to the nation.
Global Silence and Disappointing Parties
Representative Adel Al-Damkhi praised Kuwait's proactive and principled position against the genocide in Gaza. He expressed disappointment in the global silence regarding the ongoing atrocities. Al-Damkhi questioned the appropriateness of holding parties when blood is flowing in Gaza.
Appeal to Officials and Citizens
Imam and preacher Faisal Al-Jassem questioned the morality of holding concerts amidst the destruction and killing in Gaza. He called on officials, including the Minister of Information, to consider the concerns of the people of Gaza and prevent such events out of solidarity. He urged Kuwaiti citizens to strive to stop the celebrations as well.
Moral and Civilizational Gain
Former member of the National Assembly, Jamaan Al-Harbash, stated that banning parties in solidarity with Gaza is not only a gain for Gaza but also a moral and civilizational gain for Kuwait. He emphasized the Kuwaiti people's morals, chivalry, and conscience, which reject celebrating while the people of Gaza are being subjected to extermination.
Continued Aggression and Solidarity
Writer Saadia Mufreh highlighted that the Council of Ministers had previously directed the Ministry of Information to stop artistic celebrations in solidarity with the Palestinian people. She noted that this directive should still be in effect as the aggression against Gaza continues.
Aggression and Humanitarian Crisis
Since October, the Israeli occupation army has been aggressively targeting the Gaza Strip with support from the US and Europe. They have bombed hospitals, buildings, towers, and civilian homes, causing destruction and preventing the entry of essential supplies like water, food, medicine, and fuel.

Urgent Relief for Rohingya Refugees
There is a humanitarian crisis happening in the Coxs Bazar area in Bangladesh, specifically affecting the Rohingya refugees. To help these people in need, Namaa Charity, a delegation from the Social Reform Society, has taken action. The delegation consists of Khaled Mubarak Al-Shammari, the Director of the Relief Department, and Walid Al-Kandari, the Director of the Public Relations Department. They have implemented urgent relief projects, such as distributing food baskets, building homes for those who lost theirs in fires, and providing clothing.
Distributing Clothing and Opening a Residential Village
Khaled Mubarak Al-Shammari, the Director of the Relief Department at Namaa Charity, shared some details about their relief efforts. They have started their relief program in Bangladesh by distributing clothing to over 300 families. Additionally, they have given out 500 blankets to more than 250 families and provided clothing to over 260 orphans in an orphanage. The delegation has also opened a residential village that includes 200 houses, a mosque, a school, and a well. They are working in partnership with other humanitarian organizations to make all of this possible.
Helping Refugees in Dire Need
Namaa Charity's main goal is to continue helping the Rohingya refugees who are facing extremely difficult conditions. These people were forced to leave their homes and cities, which were burned down. They are in desperate need of assistance to ease their suffering, heal their wounds, and provide them with food, shelter, clothing, and healthcare. The recent developments have made their situation even more challenging, and Namaa Charity aims to be there for them.
The Tragic Situation of Rohingya Refugees
Walid Al-Kandari, the Director of the Public Relations Department, expressed his concern for the Rohingya refugees. He mentioned that 5,000 refugees, including 3,500 children, lost their homes in a fire that occurred in Camp No. 5 in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, earlier this year. The living conditions for these refugees are tragic. They struggle to find food, live in unhealthy environments, and suffer from various diseases due to malnutrition and lack of medicine.
Partnerships for Humanitarian Work
Namaa Charity is committed to its strategic vision of forming partnerships with donor institutions and organizations to support those in need. These partnerships are crucial for achieving sustainable development goals in Kuwaiti charitable work. Walid Al-Kandari expressed his gratitude to all humanitarian workers and asked for God's blessings upon them for their support, both within and outside of Kuwait.
