Palestinian Minister of Awqaf and Religious Affairs Yousef Adeis
Ramallah, (IINA) - Human Appeal International (HAI) has announced that its $ 4million ''Bridge of Charity'' program in Ramadan would be the largest of its kind in Palestine, according to WAM.
The Ramadan food aid program was unveiled during a meeting held by Palestinian Minister of Waqf and Religious Affairs Yousef Adeis, with heads of zakat committees operating in the West Bank and Jerusalem.
The minister commended the creative initiatives and qualitative programs being undertaken by the HAI in Palestine, which he said, had left clear hallmarks on the lives of the Palestinian people.
He hailed the relations between the zakat committees and UAE aid agencies as a true partnership, which contributed to identifying the requirements and priorities aimed to alleviate suffering of needy families, the poor, orphans and vulnerable groups in the Palestinian society.
He said that Palestinian Zakat Fund and zakat committees in northern governorates had offered $ 10 million in support of these poor groups during the period from January to March this year.
Ibrahim Rashid, head of HAI's office in the West Bank, said the Bridge of Charity program would be one of the largest humanitarian campaigns the HAI would implement in Palestine since the launch of its relief operations there 26 years ago.
