The agreement, signed with the Zakat Fund of the Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs to Palestine, stipulates that supplying the Australian meat within the Sacrificial Meat Project throughout the year will continue to be distributed to poor and needy Palestinian families. Palestinian Minister of Awqaf and Religious Affairs, Sheikh Yusuf Adeis, hailed the UAE gesture which will meet the needs of a number of poor Palestinian families. He also noted that HAI and other UAE charitable organisations have a long history in the field of charity of providing aid inside the Palestinian territories and exert much effort to provide assistance to those who face economic difficulties. Adeis confirmed the strong existing relations between Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs to Palestine and the UAE charitable and humanitarian organisations such as the HAI which aimed to alleviate the suffering of Palestinians. On his part, HAI Commissioner-General in the West Bank, Ibrahim Rashid, said that the Palestinians are witnessing dire economic and financial circumstances as a result of high poverty and unemployment rates.
