Emirates Red Crescent has intensified its Ramadan programmes in Somalia, providing iftar meals to 5,000 fasting people in areas of Mogadishu.
Meals were distributed in densely populated areas with displaced populations, and poor neighbourhoods, the state news agency Wam reported.
Humaid Al Shamsi, ERC’s deputy secretary general for international aid, said the charity allocated additional funds to expand the reach of the iftar meal project in the poorest countries, particularly Somalia.
