Mecca: The General Presidency for the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque has successfully provided over 10.8 million iftar meals to fasting worshippers at the Two Holy Mosques from the beginning of Ramadan until its midpoint. This initiative is part of the presidency's efforts to efficiently organize and distribute iftar meals for Umrah performers and visitors.
According to Saudi Press Agency, a total of 10,822,999 meals have been served, along with 10,290,000 date packets, coinciding with a notable rise in visitors and Umrah performers this season.
The distribution process is conducted under strict regulatory and health standards to ensure the safety of worshippers and the smooth delivery of services at designated iftar areas within the Two Holy Mosques and their courtyards. In an effort to further streamline the process, the presidency launched an online service prior to Ramadan, allowing individuals, charitable organizations, and endowments to submit requests to organize iftar meals inside the Grand Mosque.
