    Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) is an official state news wire service based in Kuwait.

    History and structure[edit]

    KUNA was established in 1956.[1] It was reorganized in 1976 as an independent body.[2][3] However, it functions as a branch of the Ministry of Information,[2][4] although it has an independent budget.[5]

    The agency has a section with the title of Health and Environment which covers regularly updated news on environmental issues.[6]

    As of 2009 the news agency had offices and correspondents in 33 countries.[5]

    KUNA is an active member of the Federation of Arab News Agencies (FANA) that includes the national news agencies of 18 Arab countries.[7]

    Incidents[edit]

    During Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, KUNA moved to London (October 1990) and following the liberation of the country, the agency resumed transmission from Kuwait on 15 November 1991.[8]
