Author Questions Kuwait Red Crescent Society's Inaction Amid Crisis

The author begins by echoing gratitude, previously expressed by Al Qabas newspaper, towards Kuwait's heroes in the National Guard, Fire Force, Airport, police, and army. These forces are lauded for their front-line defense during a severe crisis the nation faced following attacks from Iran. The article specifically mentions approximately 900 drones and over 394 ballistic missiles launched by what it terms the "brutal and extremist Iranian regime."

These attacks, which injured both military personnel and civilians, targeted vital civilian infrastructure like Kuwait International Airport, causing significant disruption. The author reminds readers that the current peace is owed to the sacrifices of martyrs such as Sergeant Waleed Majeed Suleiman, Sergeant Abdulaziz Abdulmohsen Dakhel, Lieutenant Colonel Abdullah Emad Al-Sharrah, and Major Fahad Abdulaziz Al-Mujammad, whose memory is honored.

However, the article pivots to a strong critique of the Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS). On June 9, the author initiated a personal campaign, proposing a fundraising drive through KRCS for victims of the aggression and pledging KD 2,000. Despite sending two letters and attempting phone calls to KRCS Chairman Khaled Al-Mughamis, the author received no response.

After nearly two weeks of silence, the author contacted senior KRCS staff, who reportedly found it difficult to reach Al-Mughamis. This lack of communication and responsiveness from a humanitarian organization during a time of need leads the author to question, "Where is the KRCS?" The piece implies a failure of leadership and operational effectiveness within the KRCS, contrasting sharply with the bravery of the nation's defenders.
