Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) has distributed 1,000 food boxes to workers and people living in Jleeb Al Shuyoukh that has been under lockdown to curb spread of coronavirus.
KRCS has been giving priority for the distribution of food boxes to areas under lockdown - Jleeb Al Shuyoukh, Mahboula, Farwaniya, Khaitan and Hawally, Society's Secretary General Maha Al Barjas said in a statement to Kuwait News Agency (KUNA).
KRCS continues to support all segments of the society and to alleviate their suffering caused by the pandemic, she added.
"The box contained rice, oil, sugar, tea and canned ready-made food that are sufficient for one month."
KRCS is distributing food boxes in the isolated areas in order to prevent movement of people in line with health authorities' instructions to restrict public activities in those areas.
The Red Crescent has also delivered food boxes for needy families nationwide, and Maha has urged the private sector to contribute to KRCS's program to curb the pandemic.
