Saudi Arabia delivers sacrificial meat to Egypt, Palestine
The Saudi Embassy in Cairo hosted a formal handover ceremony as the Kingdom delivered sacrificial meat shares to Egypt and Palestine under its Project for Utilization of Hady and Adahi (livestock sacrifice), managed by the Royal Commission for Makkah City and the Holy Sites.
Deputy Saudi Ambassador to Egypt Khalid bin Hammad Al-Shammari presided over the transfer, presenting Egypt's allocation to Major General Mohamed Reda and Palestine's share to Palestine Ambassador to Cairo Diab Al-Louh in the presence of Saad bin Abdulrahman Al-Wabel, the project's General Supervisor.
The shares of 30,000 sacrificial animals were handed over to the Arab Republic of Egypt and an equal number to the State of Palestine.
Al-Shammari highlighted that the program, operational since 1983, "constitutes an integrated regulatory framework for administering the Hady and Adahi religious practice, guaranteeing procedural integrity, equitable distribution, and lasting impact." The initiative channels sacrificial meat domestically and internationally to deserving Muslim recipients across numerous nations.
Al-Wabel emphasized the Kingdom's dedication to "facilitating efficient utilization and distribution of sacrificial meat, ensuring it reaches beneficiaries in roughly 26 Islamic countries."
Ambassador Al-Louh conveyed Palestine's deep appreciation to Saudi Arabia's leadership for their consistent annual support of the Palestinian people through this program.
Egypt's representative similarly thanked the Saudi leadership for their ongoing contributions to Arab and Islamic nations, invoking divine blessings for the Kingdom's continued stability and advancement.
