The Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) is set to launch a new fund-raising campaign for Syrian refugees as of Monday, mainly aiming to ease out their sufferings and woes amid current bad weather conditions, KUNA reported on Saturday.
"The KRCS's fresh aid effort reflects Kuwait's sublime positions and relentless support for all brotherly and friendly countries in the event of disasters," KRCS Board Chairman Hilal Al-Sayer said.
