The Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) on Saturday distributed rations of Eid Al-Adha's sacrificial livestock to Syrian refugees in northern Lebanon.
In a statement to KUNA, the KRCS's envoy, Dr. Musaed Al-Enezi, said the sacrificial lamb meat would be distributed to 2,600 Syrian families in Lebanon.
The society is following up on other forms of assistance given to the Syrian refugees, he said, alluding to facilities where the KRCS personnel provide kidney dialysis for patients and distribute food.
The Kuwait-provided aid supplies have reached tens of thousands of Syrian refugees in various Lebanese regions and the relief operations have been carried out in coordination with the Lebanese Red Cross and the Kuwaiti Embassy.
