He further noted that the Fund also works closely with regional humanitarian and medical institutions, including the Children's Cancer Center in Lebanon, the King Hussein Cancer Foundation in Jordan, and the Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS), by signing agreements to finance development projects that enhance the living and health conditions of Syrian, Palestinian, and Rohingya refugees.

"Kuwait, throughout its humanitarian history, has continuously adopted and implemented initiatives to support vulnerable populations, reflecting the nation's enduring legacy of compassion and generosity."
