(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) The RasAl Khaimah Charity Foundation has distributed 'Meer Ramadan' or foodstuff baskets, worth Dh162,000 to 1,160 vulnerable families.
Mohammed Jakkah Al Mansouri, secretary-general of the foundation, said they are keen to secure the food needs of poor and low-income families during the holy month of Ramadan. "The charity baskets, including flour, sugar, rice, oil, and other necessary foodstuff, ease the suffering of these families and fulfil their daily needs."
Al Mansouri added that the foundation is also distributing 1,200 free Iftar meals at six different sites close to the grand mosque.
"The meals, worth Dh320,000, are provided by six specialised kitchens licensed by the RAK Municipality for preparing Iftar meals. They are then shifted to six air-conditioned tents on a daily basis.
"This is in line with the tolerant and merciful teachings of Islam and the directives of the prudent leadership of the country."
