ISLAMABAD—Through Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS), Kuwait, in comparison to other nations, has taken first place in terms of assisting Pakistan to deal with the aftermath of last October's earthquake.
In statements to Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Wednesday, sources said a review meeting between Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS) Chairman Jahan Dad Khan and representatives of relief organizations concluded that KRCS comes first when it comes to past, current and future assistance. KRCS, added the sources, is currently fully supervising a refugee camp in Islamabad, partially participating in two other camps, supplying supervised families with two daily meals, providing tents for families and other necessary supplies, as well as establishing a number of mobile medical centers.
The sources added that Kuwait was one of the first five nations to respond to Pakistan's call for help, adding that Kuwait comes first in refugee relief and presenting actual assistance.
In another development, KRCS supplied Pakistan's Education Ministry with 50 tents to be used as classrooms in one of Islamabad's refugee camps.
In a statement to KUNA, the camp's director, Mazhar Hamid, said classes at the camp, partially supervised by Kuwait, will commence later on Wednesday. He explained that the matter of classes and their supplies was discussed with KRCS who showed full cooperation and willingness to accomplish this matter. KRCS, he added, was also cooperative to assist in returning some of the camp's residents to their homes and supplying disabled persons with wheelchairs.
