Qatar Red Crescent Society’s (QRCS) representation mission in the West Bank and Al-Quds has started a Ramadan iftar project in the yards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
During the Holy Month of Ramadan, group iftar banquets are hosted to receive the fasting Palestinians who visit the mosque for prayers and worship.
In total, the banquets are expected to serve up to 12,900 fasting people. Each iftar meal contains rice, chicken, dates, water, yoghurt, fruits and dessert.
The $161,000 project also involves the distribution of food parcels in the poor neighbourhoods of Al-Quds. These distributions will sustain more than 1,770 Al-Quds families, or 8,850 persons. Each parcel contains 28 kg of food staples like rice, sugar, milk, legumes, tomato paste, vegetable oil, pasta, beans and lentils.
As the tenth edition, this project is part of QRCS’s Ramadan Campaign for 1440 AH. Under the theme of ‘Call for Mercy’, the drive plans to reach out to many countries in Asia and Africa with humanitarian and development operations worth more than QR60 million.
People who are interested in joining QRCS in this benevolent work can donate online (www.qrcs.org.qa), or make a bank transfer to QRCS’ account at Qatar International Islamic Bank (QIIB). They can also visit QRCS’s headquarters in Old Slata, Corniche (tel.: 44027777), call the hot lines (16002, 66644822, 66666364), talk to QRCS’ agents or use collection boxes at malls and shopping centers, or send an SMS with ‘32’ to the following numbers: 92216 (QR 100) – 92092 (QR 500) – 92246 (QR 1,000).
