Kingdom’s dates, iftar programs benefit thousands in Mauritania, Cameroon, Malaysia
- Programs carried out in coordination with local authorities
RIYADH: The Ministry of Islamic Affairs has launched Ramadan gift programs in Mauritania, distributing 25 tonnes of dates to 100,000 beneficiaries, along with serving iftar meals to more than 10,000 people.
Carried out in coordination with local authorities, these initiatives are part of the Kingdom’s humanitarian efforts to support Muslim communities during the holy month, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Sunday.
At an event at the Saudi Embassy in Nouakchott, Ambassador Abdulaziz Al-Raqabi said the programs reflected the leadership’s commitment to Islam and Muslims, and its support for Mauritania during the month, highlighting values of solidarity and compassion.
The ministry has also implemented a similar program in Cameroon, which was announced at the Saudi Embassy in Yaounde. Some 25 tonnes of dates will reach around 120,000 people nationwide, while the iftar program is expected to serve about 15,000 fasting Muslims during Ramadan.
The ministry has organized programs in Malaysia to distribute 5 tonnes of dates and provide iftar meals. These are expected to benefit about 5,000 people, the SPA added.
Saudi Ambassador to Malaysia Osama Al-Ahmadi said the efforts reflected the Kingdom’s commitment to supporting Muslims during Ramadan, and easing the burden of those in need.
Zulkifli Hasan, Malaysia’s minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (religious affairs), expressed gratitude to the Saudi government, noting that the programs highlighted the Kingdom’s dedication to supporting Muslims and sharing in their Ramadan celebrations.
The ministry is this year implementing its date distribution program in 120 countries and carrying out iftar programs in 70 countries, as part of the leadership’s efforts to support Muslim communities worldwide.
