KRCS’s head of public relations and media Khaled Al-Zaid said the aid campaign, staged in cooperation with the Kuwaiti government, would maintain an air bridge between Kuwait and Sudan. “The campaign will continue to ensure the arrival of much needed materials,” he said, adding that he hoped it would help to lessen the suffering of the Sudanese people.
