Kuwait Red Crescent Society has launched its largest cattle slaughter project covering Gaza and the West bank.
Muheisen Atawneh, the head of the Palestinian society “wafa,” tasked with executing the project said in remarks to KUNA, on Sunday, that the Kuwaiti society succeeded in carrying it out in Gaza despite hurdles placed by the occupation and futile bids to ban cattle entry into the strip.
Up to 50,000 Palestinians will benefit from the project, Atawneh said in remarks to KUNA, adding that the donated meat was distributed in Al-Mawasi, Khan Youness, Deri Al-Balah, southern and central Gaza.
He added that the residents were grateful for the State of Kuwait, hailing its humanitarian role and support for the populaton since early October.
Some of the meat had been kept in freezes in Egyt, pending distribution in Gaza after Eid Al-Adha, ending on Tuesday.
