The Turkish Red Crescent on Wednesday began distributing meat to 3,000 families in four Yemeni provinces on the occasion of Eid al-Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice.

    For many people living in poverty, Eid Al Adha is the only time of the year they get to have fresh meat.

    The meat is portioned into three parts: one for yourself and your immediate family, one for non-immediate family and friends and one for those living in poverty. Excess meat is frozen or dried to prolong use.

    Many charities also accept donations of animal hides to generate money.

    It serves an important economic function in many countries by funneling resources from the rich and urban areas to rural and poorer areas.

      That’s really interesting. So the meat most probably went further than the 3,000 families!
