In a statement by the Chairman of the Union of Charitable Societies and Foundations, Saad Marzouq Al-Otaibi, regarding Kuwait’s humanitarian efforts to support the Gaza Strip, he stressed that Kuwait remains a bridge of humanity that reaches those most in need, through multi-directional movements by air, sea and land, led by His Highness Sheikh Meshaal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah. Al-Otaibi explained that these movements are an extension of Kuwait’s giving record, enhancing its position as a global humanitarian center.
Al-Otaibi continued: "We express our deep appreciation for the speech delivered by the representative of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Mishaal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, may God protect him, Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled, may God protect him, at the Third Summit of the Asian Cooperation Dialogue, when His Highness addressed the Palestinian issue. He pointed out that His Highness's emphasis on supporting the Palestinian people and their right to self-determination reflects Kuwait's steadfast commitment to human values and justice. In the Union of Charitable Societies and Foundations, we support all efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region, and we hope that this summit will contribute to strengthening Arab and Islamic solidarity.
Al-Otaibi said: "Kuwait's humanitarian efforts towards Gaza come with direct support from government ministries; This enhances the sustainability of charitable work and makes Kuwait a beacon of humanity. The Ministry of Social Affairs has played an active role in organizing charitable work and ensuring adherence to transparency standards, while the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has coordinated to ensure that aid arrives quickly and smoothly in cooperation with international authorities. The Ministry of Information also provides comprehensive coverage of these campaigns, highlighting Kuwait’s efforts to enhance the country’s image as a major supporter of humanitarian work globally. The Ministry of Defense also plays a pivotal role, as the Air Defense Forces established the relief air bridge that transported nearly 50 aid planes, in an institutional cooperation that highlights the unity and concerted efforts of the state to serve urgent humanitarian issues.
Air Relief
Al-Otaibi explained that the Kuwaiti air bridge, which began in October 2023, is one of the most important initiatives that were made possible thanks to the “Faz’a (Flush of aid) for Palestine” campaign, in which more than 23 Kuwaiti charitable associations and organizations participated, as nearly 50 planes were sent loaded with medical, food and shelter aid. These planes represented a lifeline for the besieged people of Gaza, and provided the necessary aid to meet the needs of hundreds of families affected by the violent events in the Strip.
Marine Relief
Al-Otaibi added that in March 2024, the first Kuwaiti ship sailed from Turkey carrying 1,200 tons of basic food supplies such as rice, flour and canned food, and these supplies were distributed to the neediest families in Gaza.
Marine relief also continued with the launch of the “Gaza II” ship in April 2024 from the Turkish port of Mersin, which carried an additional 900 tons of basic relief supplies.
In August of the same year, the "Gaza III" ship set sail, also carrying 1,650 tons of food parcels and health supplies; which contributed significantly to supporting the people of the Strip.
Land Relief
As for land relief, Al-Otaibi indicated that Kuwaiti trucks loaded with hundreds of tons of medical and relief aid crossed Jordanian territory to reach Gaza, and coordination was made with the relevant authorities to ensure that this aid reaches those entitled to it in a timely manner. Al-Otaibi confirmed that Kuwaiti charitable societies are preparing to operate more land convoys in the coming days; which reflects Kuwait's commitment to continuing humanitarian support for Gaza.
Kuwaiti Medical Teams
On another level, Kuwaiti medical teams played a vital role in supporting the Palestinian people on the ground. Teams consisting of Kuwaiti consultants and surgeons entered Gaza through the Rafah crossing, where they provided specialized medical services in difficult and complex circumstances. Al-Otaibi praised the efforts of the Kuwaiti medical teams that did not hesitate to provide the necessary health care, thus embodying the highest meanings of human solidarity.
Local Relief Convoys
Al-Otaibi added that the "Goodness Convoys" campaign, which targeted the displaced in Gaza, contributed significantly to the distribution of food baskets and other basic aid. He explained that what distinguishes this campaign is its reliance on purchasing relief supplies from the West Bank, which contributed to supporting the local economy there. This step reflects Kuwait's strategic thinking in providing aid, as it seeks to achieve a positive and sustainable impact on the humanitarian and economic levels.
Al-Otaibi concluded his statement by stressing that Kuwait's humanitarian efforts towards Gaza reflect the noble values held by Kuwaiti society, stressing that Kuwait will always remain a pioneer in humanitarian work, carrying a message of peace and hope to be afflicted peoples.

The movement stressed the importance of continued Palestinian steadfastness in the face of the escalating aggression, which is no longer limited to the Gaza Strip, but has extended to include Arab and Islamic countries.
Hamas indicated, in its statement entitled "Flood towards Liberation", that October 7, 2023 was a historic struggle station and a natural response to the Zionist plans being hatched to liquidate our national cause.
It added that the occupation forces committed a series of the most heinous crimes and massacres during the past year, and launched a comprehensive war against the Palestinian people, describing it as an unprecedented "genocide" in contemporary history.
The movement stressed that the steadfastness of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and their support for their resistance were the rock on which all the occupation plans were shattered, stressing that there was no retreat from the legitimate right of the Palestinians to resist the occupation by all available means.
Despite the assassinations that targeted leaders of the Palestinian resistance during the past months, Hamas downplayed the impact of these operations on the strength of the resistance, stressing that they will only increase the resistance's determination and steadfastness to continue the confrontation until the occupation is eliminated.
With regard to the ceasefire efforts and the prisoner exchange deal with the occupation, the movement stressed that it has made and continues to make great efforts to end the aggression and alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people. The statement noted that it has dealt positively with all initiatives seeking to achieve a permanent cessation of aggression and the withdrawal of the occupation forces.
The movement held the US administration responsible for the continuation of crimes and genocide in Gaza, calling on Washington to abandon its biased position towards the occupation.
Hamas considered the occupation's expansion of its aggression to include Arab and Islamic countries as evidence of the danger that this entity poses to the security and stability of the region, calling for the need to deter this rogue entity, isolate it, boycott all attempts to integrate it into the Arab and Islamic environment, and reject normalizing relations with it.
The movement also called on Palestinians in the West Bank, Jerusalem, the occupied interior, and in refugee camps to escalate all forms of resistance, calling on the nation's forces and free people to engage in the "Al-Aqsa Flood" battle to gain the honor of defending Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The movement stressed the need to intensify solidarity activities with the Palestinian people in all arenas and demand an end to crimes against Gaza, while escalating boycott campaigns and pressuring countries and companies that support the occupation.
The movement addressed the toll of the aggression on the Gaza Strip during the past year, which resulted in the martyrdom of more than 41,000 people, and the injury of more than 96,000 others, most of whom were women and children, in addition to thousands of missing persons and detainees.
In the West Bank, the escalation of the Zionist aggression led to the martyrdom of 742 Palestinians, including 163 children, the injury of more than 6,250 people, and the arrest of about 11,000 Palestinians, according to official Palestinian data.
The Social Reform Society said: The Zionist war machine continues the crime of genocide that has been ongoing for a whole year against the defenseless Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and has extended to include the ongoing abuse of the people of the West Bank, and the ongoing desecration of the Holy City of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The society added, in a statement on the occasion of the first anniversary of the Battle of “Al-Aqsa Flood”, that “the sinful Zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip has left 41,870 martyrs in Gaza since October 7, 2023 AD until today, including 11,891 martyrs from children, 11,458 martyrs from women, and about 100,000 injured, and the assassination of thousands of educators, teachers, journalists, medical cadres and Palestinian scientific figures.”
The Reform Society pointed out that "the Zionist criminal machine did not stop at humans, but rather deliberately destroyed hundreds of hospitals, health centers, schools, universities, mosques, churches, government headquarters, archaeological and heritage sites, water wells, power stations, and infrastructure facilities, and pursued the displaced in their tents by bombing and burning them."
The statement mentioned that "the occupation dropped 85 thousand tons of explosives on the Gaza Strip, in a crime of genocide described with all its elements, the purpose of which is annihilation and nothing but annihilation."
The statement continued: "What is flowing in the Gaza Strip is the blood of our people who have been crying out to us for 365 days, around the clock, to provide aid with whatever each of us can from his position."
The Social Reform Society also confirmed that Kuwait has, as usual, and continues to do, its duty of supporting the Palestinian people, on both the official and civil levels, politically in international forums, and civilly through relief campaigns.
The statement added that this came as a commitment from us and our honorable country to the requirements of belonging to our homeland and nation, and with the lofty directives of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Mishaal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, may God protect him and preserve him, and his loyal Crown Prince Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah, may God protect him.
The statement clarified that "the suffering of the Palestinian Arab people began 106 years ago, as they spent 30 years under British colonialism, and 76 years under the Zionist occupation, and since that time their battle for freedom and living in peace and dignity began."
The statement of the Reform Society indicated that "the United Nations and its various institutions have issued more than 900 resolutions in favor of the Palestinian people during the past eight decades, and the "Israeli" occupation state refused to implement any of them, relying on the unjust American-Western "veto", which consecrates dealing with the occupation as a state above the law."
The statement held the Zionist occupation and its allies fully responsible for the continuation of this crime, covered by the international inability to stop it.
The Reform Society called on the international community, with its institutions and organizations, especially the legal ones, to exert more real and effective pressure and to intervene decisively with practical steps that oblige the occupying state to stop its crime against our people in the Gaza Strip and all of Palestine, in preparation for holding it accountable for the charge of carrying out genocide.
