A Kuwaiti convoy of five trucks carrying 100 tons of drinking water will head to Iraq on Sunday in an attempt to meet the instant need of water in the war-battered country.

It is the fourth convoy of Kuwaiti humanitarian aid for the Iraqi people, Deputy Director of the Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) Abdulrahman Al-Oun was quoted by the official KUNA news agency as saying.

The water would be distributed to the Iraqis with the cooperation of the Iraqi Red Crescent Society, Al-Oun said, adding that volunteers from the KRCS would also participate in the water distribution.

The volunteers had received intensive training courses in first aid procedure and nursing, and the KRCS is still receiving volunteers from both genders, he said.

Humanitarian aid provided by various Kuwait's organizations havebeen flooding into several southern Iraqi cities in the past week and the shipments included fresh water, food packages and tents.
