Zakat authority launches project to distribute 10,000 cash crop baskets

Sana'a - Saba:
The General Authority of Zakat launched on Wednesday the eighth phase of the cash crop distribution project under the slogan "Food and Sufficiency," targeting 10,000 poor families.
At the launch, First Deputy Prime Minister Mohammed Miftah congratulated the Zakat Authority on the launch of the project, which coincides with Eid al-Adha, especially since part of the project covers Eid requirements for poor families, including honey, almonds, raisins, sesame, coffee, and other crops.
Miftah pointed out that the project is a bounty and blessing from Yemen, thanks to the efforts of farmers and producers and the efforts of Zakat Authority employees, reaching the poor and needy. He noted the launch of the project and the preceding packaging, roasting, and distribution of cash crop baskets to the poor, bringing joy to their hearts.
Sheikh Miftah urged those in charge of the Zakat Authority to investigate and ensure that Zakat is delivered to those most in need.
For his part, Ali al-Saqqaf, Deputy Director of the Zakat Authority, praised the farmers' initiative to pay their Zakat on cash crops, a right God Almighty has enjoined upon the poor, out of their good will, and hand it over to the Zakat Authority for distribution to those who deserve it.
He stated that the project stems from the efforts of the Authority's staff and the farmers' initiative to distribute 10,000 baskets at a cost of 400 million riyals, with each basket costing 40,000 riyals. The basket benefits 10,000 beneficiaries, including poor families, people with special needs, thalassemia patients, war wounded and disabled, and members of African communities.
Al-Saqqaf noted that in-kind Zakat is steadily increasing due to the trust of zakat payers in the Zakat Authority and its role in distributing Zakat to its legitimate recipients.

In letter to Major General al-Ghamari, Chief of Staff of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades expresses pride in Yemen's heroic stance in support of Gaza Sana'a - Saba: Chief of the General Staff Major General Abdulkarim al-Ghamari on Saturday received a letter from the Chief of Staff of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, in response to the letter Major General al-Ghamari sent to Mujahideen of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades on the occasion of Eid al-Adha. The letter stated: We have received your generous letter, filled with sincere brotherhood, chivalry, and blessed Arab and Yemeni generosity, which came on the occasion of Eid al-Adha. What makes your words so impactful and appreciated is that they are accompanied by great practical stances and the unique jihadi heroism of our sincere brothers in Yemen, a land of wisdom and faith. Dear brother and friend, through you, we send our sincere greetings and appreciation to Mujahid leader Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi, the Yemeni Armed Forces, and our great brotherly Yemeni people from your Mujahidin brothers on the land of resistance in Gaza. Gaza is the crown of Mujahidin and the frontier of Islam advancing against the infidel Nazi Zionism. We extend to you and your brothers, on behalf of every Mujahid who carries his soul in his hand, and every steadfast defender of his homeland, waiting to fight his enemy, and on behalf of every individual among our patient, afflicted, and proud people, our sincere congratulations on these blessed days and in this sacred month of Allah. We thank Allah that we have reached Eid al-Adha while we and you are in the best of positions beloved by Allah and His Messenger: positions of jihad and fighting in His cause, martyrdom, and sacrifice of blood, soul, wealth, and all that we possess for the sake of the Night Journey of our noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and our Holy Land. We remain steadfast in our covenant, Allah willing, that neither those who have let us down nor those who have afflicted us will harm us until Allah's promise comes to pass, by His permission. What fills us with pride is your great heroic stance, which will be recorded in history and passed down through the generations in letters of light on the pages of glory and pride. From before and after history, God will not let your struggle, faith and sacrifices go to waste, especially when you stood tall like mountains in the face of the forces of injustice and tyranny. You paid a heavy price, befitting great men like you, for supporting your brothers in Gaza in word and deed. You were the most prominent arena in the nation in terms of progress in fighting, confrontation, military support, million-man demonstrations, and a resounding, blessed voice in all arenas of support and dignity. You truly embodied the words of God Almighty: "And those who believed and emigrated and strove in the cause of God and those who gave shelter and aided - those are the believers, truly. For them is forgiveness and noble provision." May God grant us and you righteous deeds, acts of obedience, jihad, sacrifices, and acts of devotion. We ask God to elevate the ranks of our martyrs and yours, grant healing to the wounded, freedom to the prisoners, and victory to our nation and people. Until we meet again in the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, liberated and purified, God willing. "And that Day the believers will rejoice in the victory of God. He gives victory to whom He wills, and He is the Ex Exalted in Might, the Merciful." And may you have a happy new year. May God's peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you.
