    Responding to Pakistani pleas to the international community for help, Kuwait, through the Kuwait Red Crescent Society, launched a three-day campaign of humanitarian aid, delivering in August 2022 relief to Pakistanis affected by devastating floods.

    The summer monsoon season between June and August 2022 generated floods that killed more than 1,100 people while displacing millions more. 

    Coordinated by Kuwait’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 27 local charities provided supplies for thousands of people affected by the ravaging waters in Pakistan.

    Also, a Kuwaiti Air Force plane carrying 40 tons of medical supplies and food arrived in Sudan in September 2022 to alleviate the suffering of Sudanese harmed by floods caused by torrential rainfall in August 2022.

    Wrecking infrastructure, property and crops, floods destroyed thousands of homes in the provinces of Gezira, North Kordofan, South Kordofan, South Darfur and River Nile. 

    Also, the Direct Aid Society of Kuwait (DA) continued operations to provide food and drinking water to more than 200,000 internally displaced Somalis. Thousands of food baskets containing rice, oil, flour, dates and sugar along with hundreds of drinking water trucks were delivered to Somalis in an operation starting in February 2022 and continuing through August 2022.   

    A devastating drought, deemed the worst in the Horn of Africa,
    has caused famine in Somalia, internally displacing hundreds of
    thousands of people. 

    DA is an Islamic-based nongovernmental organization that provides relief and development assistance to African countries and Yemen. Using money generated from alms, charities and giving (zakat, sadaqat and kafarat in Arabic), it provides humanitarian aid and relief for needy people and those affected by natural and human-made disasters.
