UAE distributes over 600,000 meals in 3 Central Asian countries

WAM

More than 600,000 meals have been distributed in Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan as part of the '100 Million Meals' campaign.

About 3,100 underprivileged families received parcels containing easy-to-store items including flour, rice, sugar, and oil.

Each food basket has enough supplies to support a seven-member family for one month.

The 100 Million Meals campaign, organised by Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, concluded in May after securing 216 million meals, which is more than double the targeted donations.

The massive food distribution drive aims to provide supplies to 30 countries.

The latest batch of supplies were distributed in collaboration with the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Humanitarian and Charity Establishment (MBRCH), the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, local authorities and humanitarian organisations.
