Iftar meal for 500 Palestinian orphans in Jordan as part of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques program
As part of the ongoing humanitarian efforts undertaken by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during the holy month of Ramadan, the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance, represented by the Religious Attaché at the Kingdom's Embassy in Jordan, organized a large Ramadan iftar meal for 500 orphaned Palestinian refugees residing in the Baqa'a camp. This generous initiative is part of the "Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques' Program for Iftar for Fasting People," which the Ministry implements in various countries around the world.
Al-Baqa'a camp: an important humanitarian hub
This event gained particular significance due to its location; Baqa'a camp is one of the largest Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan and the region, characterized by high population density and living conditions that necessitate concerted humanitarian efforts. This initiative aimed to bring smiles to the faces of orphans and alleviate the burdens of daily life for the most vulnerable families within the camp, reflecting the Kingdom's awareness of the refugees' suffering and its ongoing commitment to supporting them, especially during religious occasions.
Program details in Jordan: 15 tons of dates
In a related context, the official spokesperson for the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance, Abdullah bin Yatim Al-Anzi, revealed details of the program's operational plan in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan for this year. Al-Anzi explained that the program is not limited to a single iftar meal, but extends to the distribution of 15 tons of premium dates, in addition to targeting approximately 5,000 fasting individuals throughout the holy month through a series of communal iftar meals and food baskets, thus confirming the program's comprehensiveness and its endeavor to reach the largest possible segment of beneficiaries.
The Kingdom's message: Islamic solidarity and a leading role
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques' program for providing iftar meals to fasting Muslims, implemented this year in 70 countries worldwide, is a true embodiment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's leading role in serving Islam and Muslims. These meals transcend the mere act of feeding, becoming a message of solidarity and social cohesion that transcends borders. They aim to strengthen the bonds of Islamic brotherhood, spread the values of tolerance and love, and address the needs of Muslims across the globe, particularly in areas suffering from exceptional circumstances or refugee crises.
Continuing the approach of giving
The implementation of this program stems from the unwavering commitment of the wise leadership—may God protect them—to generosity and giving, as the Kingdom places great importance on charitable projects that directly impact people's lives. The Ministry of Islamic Affairs operates within a comprehensive system to ensure that this aid reaches those who deserve it with the highest standards of quality and organization, thus enhancing the Kingdom's positive image as a leading nation in charitable and humanitarian work internationally.
