Dear All Please kindly find below an update regarding the situation in Kuwait/dammam, regret to state that there seems to be no respite still In fact there is a general state of bad weather in the gulf sector . Just to give you an insight into the t/s situation for uppergulf , please take note of the below . SHUAIBA PORT Please be informed that Shuaiba Port is closed from 05th July 10:20 am and still not resumed due to bad weather. Shuwaikh port operations also getting delayed on and off due to bad weather. Resulting a bunch of vessels are waiting in the queue for berthing in KWT ports. Basis weather forecast next 02/03 days is also bad weather and port will suspend operations till further notice.Subsequently arrival at JAL also will be delayed KUWAIT 1-Primary factors causing delay in feeder schedule from JEA – KWT – crane break down/ slow operations / port closure owing to bad weather - we have had some situations in the recent past where in GEM vessels (eg. BUXCOAST 0114E/ASTRID SCHULTE 1519E )which were supposed to discharge containers at JEA had skipped JEA and containers were discharged at KLF to maintain schedule. Inspite of our best efforts, unfortunately owing to such unfavourable circumstances there has been severe but unavoidable delays in Kuwait transshipments and the bad news is that there is no possibility for situation to improve in the near future. Basis the present scenario, the t/t for Kuwait needs to be reviewed , if the containers are discharged at KLF , the t/t including the idling time at KLF and JEA have increased to 17- 18 days. And if the containers are discharged at JEA directly the t/t is around 12 days . DAMMAM Please be informed that DAMMAM saillings are suspended due to congestion Port, consequent berthing congestion , slow operations owing to these reasons as well as reduced Ramadan working hours , have led to tremendous delay in the turnaround of dammam feeder vessels. DOHA Due to reduced working hours of Ramadan and summer ban vessel turnaround is badly affected.Container yard movement is also restricted. Doha port is congested and an average berthing delay for container vessel of 72 hours is expected. Regret inconvenience caused. .

A study of the developmental stages and location variables of health care services can facilitate understanding location characteristics for a progressive perspective to achieve optimal standards of health care service. This study focuses on the 17 public health centers lo- cated within the districts of the Capital Governorate, State of Kuwait. The scientific methodology that is used in this study is based on a spatial and geo-statistical analysis of public health centers. The results of this applied analysis highlight the inadequacies of the current management system running public health facilities in the State of Kuwait.

He had also requested that the team assess the damage inflicted on the general infrastructure in Kuwait. In his letter of 6 March 1991 (S/21334), the President of the Security Council informed me that members of the Council would welcome my responding positively to that request, recognising the importance of taking all actions possible to facilitate Kuwait’s reconstruction and reintegration into the interntitional economic system. Accordingly, I requested Mr. Abdulrahim A. Farah, former 'Jnder-Secretary-General, to lead a high-level United Nations mission to Kuwait. The mission visited that country from 16 March to 4 April 1991. The report of the mission on the damage sustained by the infrastructure and economy of Kuwait during the Iraqi occupation is submitted herewith for the attention of members of the Security Council.

LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS 69 6. CONCLUDING SECTION 73 7. APPENDICES 75 INTRODUCTION 1 1.1. THE ENHANCED STRUCTURE OF THE MID-RANGE PLAN 1.2. REFLECTION ON PREVIOUS PLANS 1.3. BENEFITS OF THE NEW MID-RANGE PLAN 1.4. PURPOSE OF THE NEW MID-RANGE PLAN 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. THE ENHANCED STRUCTURE OF THE MID-RANGE PLAN The 2015/2016 – 2019/2020 mid-range plan presents a national direction for the coming years, derived from the vision of His Highness the Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah. The envisioned direction sets areas of focus, and determines the plans and projects to achieve the desired state from Kuwait and its inhabitants. The structure of the 2015/2016 – 2019/2020 mid-range plan has been revised to follow a clear cascading process, from the national vision, to specific areas of focus down to supporting projects. This process will focus and unify development efforts in Kuwait towards achieving common goals that serve the greater good of the nation. The vision of His Highness the Emir is cascaded into five themes that represent a desired “end state” for Kuwait. These themes are supported by seven pillars that represent the drivers that Kuwait’s different institutions (executive, legislative, and judicial) can use to achieve them. Global indices are used to measure Kuwait’s progress to allow the comparison with other countries and remove political manipulation of data.

It gained full independence from the United Kingdom in 1961. Its area is 17,800km2, making it much smaller than its immediate neighbours. In size, it is comparable to Eswatini6 and Fiji. Kuwait consists largely of low-lying desert and the economy is heavily dependent on petroleum. As with some other small oil-rich Gulf states, the majority of the population are non- citizen expatriates7. The country is named after its capital and largest city. Kuwait is essentially a city state, with the vast majority of the population living in Kuwait City and its suburbs. The word kuwayt is Arabic, meaning 1 Kuwait is a constitutional monarchy ruled by an Emir (Arabic: amīr), so is an Emirate (imārah), but the official title uses the Arabic word dawlah, which means ‘state’. 2 ISO 639-2 codes are given for languages mentioned in this Factfile. 3https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/858000/RO MANIZATION_OF_ARABIC.pdf 4 On cartographic products PCGN would recommend showing the local Roman-script name in primary position with the English conventional name in brackets.

darmagazine i14 January 2018 Closer than ever before Featuring an exclusive, in-depth look at the Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah Causeway darmagazine i14 January 2018 In this issue In a world so deeply affected by the continuous advent of technology, climate change, and cultural exchange, the need to stay connected to one another, to understand the issues that affect us and what we have to offer one another, both as individuals and as countries, is more important than ever. As such, the pages of Dar Magazine’s 14th issue – the longest issue in the publication’s history – offer advances in sustainability and innovation from all over the globe. Notable among these is one we are especially proud to feature: the historic Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad A-Sabah Kuwait Causeway, one of the longest bridge projects in the world, linking Kuwait City to the north of Kuwait. Elsewhere, Currie & Brown sheds light on the rebuild of London Bridge Station, Maffeis shares an informative account on its work on the Doha Oasis’s dome, and Perkins+Will pushes for more modern and holistic designs of educational spaces. Closer to home, Dar announces a new way of seeing and visualising in the form of its augmented reality application, d.ar. With the imminent threat of climate change in sight, sustainable living and building become integral to upward movement. Dar considers Agenda 2030 as a possible – perhaps final – means to combat climate change, and Elementa reveals the details of its Zero Carbon Capital proposals. Chiming into the conversation, Dar London introduces the Al Sa’fat rating system to promote greener building, and Dar takes us on a journey with Sustainability Movement and its efforts to encourage green living among school students around the region.
