Human Appeal International provides 150,000 Ramadan meals in al-Aqsa

The U.A.E.-based Human Appeal International (HAI) has prepared 150,000 iftar (fast breaking) and suhoor (pre dawn) meals for worshippers who spend the Holy Month of Ramadan at Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
Ibrahim Rashid, Director of HAI's office in West Bank, said HAI has contracted Palestinian restaurants and establishments that are close to Al Aqsa Mosque to prepare the Ramadan meals so as to create jobs in the city.
Mr. Rashid noted the agency's interest in providing meals for worshippers is based on the importance of Al Aqsa Mosque for the leadership and people of U.A.E. and all Muslims.
The head of the Islamic Awqaf in Jerusalem, Sheikh Azzam Al-Tamimi, praised the U.A.E. charities for supporting Palestinians, in the holy city in particular.
