In co-operation with Qatar Charity, the charitable community initiative ‘Laka Al Ajr’ (You deserve the reward) has distributed 7,500 Iftar meals among needy individuals and families from across the country since the start of the holy month of Ramadan. The initiative, implemented at Hyatt Plaza Mall, has seen the participation of 40 volunteers - both Qataris and expatriates. Ahmed al-Qahtani, one of the persons responsible for the initiative, stressed that in view of the Covid-19 outbreak and as part of the precautionary and preventive measures being implemented in the country, all necessary steps are taken to prepare and distribute the meals. This includes ensuring the recommended social and physical distancing to maintain the health and safety of all. He noted that all the meals are prepared and distributed while strictly complying with the relevant health and safety regulations.
