The Muslim World League (MWL) has unveiled one of its largest water projects in Africa and the most substantial in Malawi.

MWL Secretary-General Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa, Malawi's First Lady Monica Chakwera, Minister of Water and Sanitation Abida Sidik Mia, and other government and humanitarian officials attended the inauguration ceremony.

Dr. Al-Issa emphasized the project's strong alignment with Islamic humanitarian values.

Chakwera expressed gratitude for the MWL's efforts, highlighting the project's transformative impact on thousands of residents previously grappling with water scarcity, pollution-related diseases, and untimely deaths.

The project, benefiting six regions, utilizes solar energy for sustainability and features storage units and pumps. It marks a significant step towards ensuring safe and clean water access for a population deprived of this essential resource.

Kuwait's foreign ministry issued on Sunday a circular indicating that it had listed eight hospitals in Lebanon as part of regulations related to "combating terrorism.”

Lebanon's health ministry expressed surprise and said it would seek clarification.

It said it received the Kuwaiti statement "with great surprise", adding it had not been provided with "any information or notification from any Kuwaiti entity about this matter.”

"The hospitals mentioned in the statement are registered with the syndicate of private hospitals in Lebanon and carry out their role in providing treatment and health services to all Lebanese without exception," the ministry statement said.

It called the facilities "an essential part of the Lebanese health system,” and said it would contact the relevant authorities to request clarification and "protect Lebanon's health system.”

It noted that "Kuwait has numerous joint projects with the ministry... and has been among the most prominent countries that have stood by the health system during the successive crises that Lebanon has faced.”

The latest move was "unprecedented and inconsistent" with the Gulf country's usual approach, it added.
