ISTANBUL, TURKEY July 24, 2021 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian relief agency, recently distributed fresh meat for 9,158 meals to families displaced in Turkey during the Islamic holiday season of sacrifice known as Udhiyah.
Approximately 3,186 beneficiaries — the majority of whom are Syrian refugees — received portions of meat from locally-sourced cows.
In many Muslim-majority countries, nutrient-rich meat is often procured through charitable gifts on occasions like the Udhiyah. This year, Baitulmaal distributed approximately 54 tons of fresh meat to beneficiaries in various poverty-stricken and conflict ridden areas of the world for the Udhiyah season.
In addition to seasonal Islamic giving programs, Baitulmaal coordinates emergency aid efforts, water, hygiene and sanitation projects, orphan support programs and other humanitarian aid to under-served populations regardless of faith or nationality.
