Documentary exhibit celebrates British Council legacy
Meanwhile, Al-Azmi emphasized that the exhibition is in line with the commitment of the library to document historical milestones that reflect the depth of cultural relations between Kuwait and friendly countries. Al-Azmi stressed that 'celebrating the 70th anniversary of the British Council is a platinum occasion that is part of the strategy of the library to enrich its archive of historical documents and photographs. Culture, art and literature are bridges that strengthen the presence of Kuwait on the Arab cultural map. We appreciate the role of the British Council in this context for more than seven decades.' Through the exhibition, Dashti showcased his personal collection of original photographs and artifacts documenting the British Council's activities since the 1950s; including educational materials, books and study aids that were distributed to council members to facilitate learning English. He highlighted the vital role of the council in supporting reading, traditional architecture and the arts, which contributed to strengthening ties between the two friendly peoples.

Long waits for government housing persist despite major projects
Slow construction, distant locations, high costs leave many Kuwaitis frustrated By Durnaz Dashti KUWAIT: It's been eight years since Abbas Mohammed, a 40-year-old Kuwaiti, first applied for government housing. Like all Kuwaiti citizens, Mohammed is entitled to government housing or a plot of land after marriage as stipulated in the country's laws. While it's a privilege many around the world can only dream of, the process isn't as easy as it seems. 'I have been waiting on the waiting list since 2017 and have not been issued land,' he said. Mohammed was informed by the Public Authority for Housing Welfare (PAHW) that he would be waiting for 10 years to obtain the land. While some people with strong connections have been able to shorten that period, Mohammed hasn't been successful. 'I can't do anything about it because I don't have wasta.' Without his forever home, Mohammed is now living in his father's house, a temporary arrangement which has become the norm as housing waitlists grow in Kuwait. But Mohammed remains optimistic. He says building new areas is a part of Kuwait's journey toward progress, regardless of location. 'I know that (my new home) will be in a faraway place, most probably in Mutlaa, but I don't mind as I see it as Kuwait developing further.' Kuwaitis make up 30 percent of the 4.85 million people living in Kuwait. The population growth, combined with the fact that most development is concentrated in the metropolitan area of Kuwait, has led to a surge in demand for government housing. 'Lifetime home' applications increased to approximately 97,671 as of October 2024, according to data issued by the PAHW. Some have been on the list since 1985. 'Significant progress' The Kuwaiti government has attempted to address this issue through several initiatives. On Thursday, Kuwait's Public Authority for Housing Welfare reported what it called 'significant progress' in major housing development projects during June, including advances in infrastructure and construction in key areas like South Saad Al-Abdullah and South Sabah Al-Ahmad. Over 3,300 affordable homes are currently under construction, while thousands more are in preparation stages. The authority has also digitized many services to speed up building permit processes, issuing over 32,000 certificates by June. But the housing demand continues to outpace the rate of city development. Most recently, Kuwait's top ministers met to reinforce oversight and coordination of housing projects, under direct instructions from HH the Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Al-Abdullah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah. The discussion, led by ministers Abdullatif Al-Meshari, Noura Al-Mashaan, and Sabeeh Al-Mukhaizeem, focused on removing delays, enhancing collaboration among departments and expediting the rollout of housing infrastructure. The committee underlined the urgency of delivering on citizens' housing needs while upholding construction quality and adhering to timelines. Slow construction Receiving a plot of land from the government doesn't mean the end of the wait. A 73-year-old Kuwaiti man, who preferred to remain anonymous, recalled applying for housing back in 1992. Although he received a land allocation after six years, during which he rented an apartment, he couldn't complete construction until 2017. The delay was largely due to persistent shortages in building materials and a slow construction process. He also noted that the government provides a housing loan of up to KD 70,000 but disburses it in stages. The installments, between KD 2,000 and KD 3,000 each, are tied to phases of construction, such as drafting the house sketch, completing tilling, in addition to tens of other processes. Government officials carry out field inspections at every stage before releasing the money. While helpful, this incremental funding can slow down the overall timeline of building a home. As prices of material and labor increase, the funds may not be sufficient for each stage of building. 'It took me a long time to complete the construction because the staggered funds weren't enough to cover everything I wanted to build, especially using good-quality materials and labor,' he told Kuwait Times. Growing impatient Another issue facing those waiting for housing is the location of new areas under development. Currently, most residential neighborhoods with housing for Kuwaitis are close to the country's urban center. But new areas such as Sabah Al-Ahmad City and Al-Mutlaa City are 30 minutes to an hour away by car. 'Since the new areas that are being developed are distant, many families are building a third floor for their kids so that we are not living somewhere so far away and also paying high rent in Kuwait,' Khalid Al-Kandari, a family man, said. With most people residing in metropolitan areas, rental housing units are becoming increasingly scarce. As a result, many are forced to pay high rent for small living spaces, simply to secure a place to stay. 'Growing up as a city kid, I find it unreasonable that many Kuwaitis have to pay a huge chunk of their salary monthly just for apartments in the city,' Al-Kandari said. Due to the time constraints, he is beginning to grow impatient. 'At this rate the house would be ready when my child turns 18!' The long wait and rising cost of living make it increasingly difficult for citizens to afford these temporary housing arrangements. Despite government efforts, many Kuwaitis have little hope that they will be allocated a home any time soon.

Dive Team calls for shark protection
By Passant Hisham KUWAIT: As sightings of sharks increase in Kuwait's waters during the summer months, the Kuwait Dive Team is calling for stronger awareness and protection efforts, warning that these misunderstood marine creatures face far greater danger from humans than the other way around. 'Sharks have earned a bad reputation since the 1970s because of how the media portrayed them,' Kuwait Dive Team leader Waleed Al-Fadhel told Kuwait Times. 'Globally, there are over 400 shark species, but only one is truly dangerous to humans — the Great White Shark,' he added. 'In fact, most species found in Kuwaiti waters are harmless. In Kuwait's entire 300-year history, only two shark-related injuries have been recorded' Al-Fadhel explained that the rise in shark presence during summer is a natural phenomenon. Sharks are attracted to warm waters and are typically found in muddy areas up north, and to a lesser extent near coral reefs in the south, where they are generally small and non-aggressive. While the presence of sharks might alarm some beachgoers, Al-Fadhel stressed that humans pose the real threat. 'Studies show that 20 to 30 percent of the global shark population has been wiped out due to harmful human practices,' he told KUNA. Among the most damaging is shark finning — the practice of removing fins and discarding the body at sea. The fins are exported for use in what is considered the world's most expensive soup. Al-Fadhel noted that while some fishermen in Kuwait have engaged in this trade, commercial shark fishing is now banned in the country, as the sharks play important role in maintaining marine ecological balance. Al-Fadhel also urged the public not to feed sharks or other marine wildlife, as doing so alters their natural behavior and undermines their ecological role. 'Sharks help maintain balance in the marine environment by feeding on sick or injured fish,' he said. 'Feeding them changes their behavior, draws them closer to humans, and could increase the risk of unintended harm — both to the animal and the person.' To reduce the likelihood of encounters and promote coexistence, the Kuwait Dive Team recommended avoiding diving in muddy seabeds, where sharks are more likely to be found. They also advised spearfishers against tying their catch to their bodies, as the scent of blood can attract sharks. Al-Fadhel emphasized that the purpose of awareness campaigns is not to instill fear, but to foster respect for marine life and promote safer practices. The team, which operates under the Environmental Voluntary Foundation, has carried out multiple rescue operations across Kuwait's coast — including around Kubbar Island, where sharks have been found entangled in abandoned fishing nets. Al-Fadhel also noted that summer months bring a surge in jellyfish populations, particularly during June and July, sometimes leading to the temporary shutdown of desalination plants due to the overwhelming numbers. To manage their impact, nets and filters are installed at water intake sites. He described jellyfish as ancient marine organisms that migrate annually to Kuwaiti waters depending on currents and wind patterns. While the species found locally are not deadly, they can cause mild stings. Al-Fadhel recommended wearing full-body diving suits for protection and avoiding swimming in areas where jellyfish are concentrated. Like sharks, he added, jellyfish also play a vital ecological role as a food source for other marine species.
