Where is the KRCS?

Al Qabas newspaper preceded me in its main article recently, expressing sincere gratitude to the heroes of Kuwait in the National Guard, the Kuwait Fire Force (KFF), Kuwait International Airport, the police, and the army, who were at the forefront of defending the homeland during the most severe crisis Kuwait has witnessed since liberation.

This article is a message of gratitude to the heroes of the armed forces, the National Guard, the Ministry of Interior, KFF, and all security and military agencies in confronting the aggression we faced as a result of the attacks launched by the brutal and extremist Iranian regime. The attacks included approximately 900 drones and more than 394 ballistic missiles, with no regard for the fact that Kuwait is a peaceful country.

These missiles and drones, which injured both military personnel and civilians, should never have been launched at Kuwait and its people. The attacks targeted and sabotaged vital civilian infrastructure that is not part of military objectives, such as Kuwait International Airport, which has been out of service for a long time.

We must remember, as mentioned in the Al-Qabas article, that the security and peace we enjoy today are thanks to the sacrifices of Kuwait’s righteous martyrs - Sergeant Waleed Majeed Suleiman, Sergeant Abdulaziz Abdulmohsen Dakhel, Lieutenant Colonel Abdullah Emad Al-Sharrah, and Major Fahad Abdulaziz Al-Mujammad, who sacrificed their lives for their nation. These heroes will remain immortal in Kuwait’s memory and in the hearts of its people, a symbol of sacrifice and devotion for generations to come.

On June 9, in a personal initiative, I sent a letter to Khaled Al-Mughamis, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS), and proposed launching a fundraising campaign for the victims of the Iranian aggression. I announced my donation of KD 2,000 through KRCS to support one of the injured, and expressed hope that readers and followers on the X platform would participate in the campaign through KRCS. I sent another letter to Al-Mughamis requesting a discussion on the method of collecting donations and thanking him for his efforts. When I received no response to my messages, I tried calling him, but he did not answer. After waiting for nearly two weeks, I contacted two senior staff members at KRCS, who are supposed to be compassionate and helpful. They told me that it was difficult to contact Al-Mughamis. I then wondered where the KRCS was.
