A delegation from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) praised the humanitarian projects implemented by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) in the Gaza Strip.

The OCHA delegation conducted a field visit to the Gaza Strip to observe the center’s relief interventions and response mechanisms in support of the Palestinian people, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday.

The delegation commended the scale and diversity of the field assistance provided by the center, as well as its role in alleviating the suffering of Gazans and supporting the most vulnerable groups.

They also praised the level of organization and response efficiency in terms of delivering relief operations amid the escalating humanitarian conditions in the enclave.

The delegation began its tour with a visit to KSrelief’s central kitchen, which provides hot meals daily to families in displacement camps. The facility produces around 25,000 meals per day as part of a continuous operational system aimed at strengthening food security and easing the living burdens of affected families.

The delegation observed the kitchen’s operations, including meal preparation, packaging, transportation, and distribution, as well as the efforts of field teams working with the Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage, KSrelief’s implementing partner in Gaza.

The tour also included visits to food basket distribution points. The delegation followed field distribution operations targeting the most vulnerable families under a relief program aimed at expanding the scope of beneficiaries and reaching various areas across the strip.

The Kuwaiti Court of Cassation sentenced on Sunday a number of former MPs to prison, overturning the acquittals of 15 defendants, most of whom were former lawmakers in the dissolved National Assembly. The defendants were charged with "contesting the rights and authorities of the Emir of the country and spreading malicious news detrimental to the internal interests and stability of the nation."

The First Circuit of the Court of Cassation reversed the Court of Appeals' ruling that had suspended the sentence of former MP Muhannad Talal Al-Sayer, sentencing him again to three years in prison on charges related to contesting the rights of the Emir, interfering with his authorities, and spreading malicious news harmful to Kuwait's internal interests and stability.

The court also overturned the appellate ruling that suspended the sentence of former MP Saleh Mohammed Al-Mulla, ordering him to serve two years in prison for contesting the authorities and rights of the Emir.

It overturned the acquittal of former MPs Musallam Al-Barrak and Salem Al-Namlan, convicting them as repeat offenders and sentencing them to three years in prison for spreading malicious news detrimental to the country's interests.

It sentenced former MP Bader Al-Dahoum to one year of hard labor on charges of offending judges of the Constitutional Court.

The court also overturned the acquittals issued in favor of 15 defendants, finding them guilty while abstaining from pronouncing punishment on charges of spreading malicious news detrimental to the state's interests.

The rulings included former MPs Adel Al-Damkhi, Mohammed Mosaed Al-Dosari, Osama Al-Zaid, Shuaib Ali Shaban, Mohammed Abbas Jawhar Hayat, Madi Al-Hajri, Falah Al-Hajri, Hamad Al-Mudlej, Ali Radan Al-Otaibi, Mohammed Haif, Saoud Al-Hajri, Khaled Mounis Al-Otaibi, Nasser Mohammed Al-Mutairi, and Nami Harab Mohammed Awad Obeid.
