on this occasion, representative of the Lebanese Minister of Refugee Affairs, Safwan Mustafa hailed the efforts being exerted by QRCS and KRCS as well as the humanitarian support extended by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to Lebanon especially on IDPs. 
The Lebanese official also stressed the need to establish such projects targeting IDPs and the host community, especially in areas such as Bekaa and Akkar. 
For his part, the Chairman of KRCS, Dr. Helal Al-Sayer said the mobile mammography clinic project is of key importance, as statistics show that one in eight women are prone to breast cancer.
