Tkiyet Um Ali offers food support to Palestinians for 8th year

AMMAN — Tkiyet Um Ali (TUA) has offered Iftar meals to Muslims at Al Aqsa Mosque/Al Haram Al Sharif and the Ibrahimi Mosque, as part of its Ramadan donation campaign, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported on Monday. 

TUA said it will also offer meals to more than 1,625 fasting individuals across the West Bank. 

The non-profit organisation has distributed meat parcels of 3,351 Adha sacrifices to 9,993 families in the West Bank, in cooperation with the Hashemite Charity Organisation, Petra reported.

Director General of Tkiyet Um Ali Samer Balqer expressed delight over delivering food support to Palestinian people for the 8th year through TUA's project "Takatuf".

He thanked donors who continuously contribute to supporting Palestinian people and "mitigating their suffering". 

During Eid Al Adha (the feast of the sacrifice), TUA supervises the sacrificing rituals and the distribution of meat from sacrificed livestock donated by expats in Australia, according to Petra.

During the sacrificing process, a team from TUA checks on the rituals, accompanied by a mufti (a Muslim legal expert who is empowered to give rulings on religious matters) from the Iftaa Department to ensure the following of the religious rules. 

Tkiyet Um Ali provides sustainable food support to 30,000 underprivileged households in the 12 governorates of the Kingdom through delivering monthly foodstuff parcels that consist of 22 food items.
