The T\u00fcrkiye Diyanet Foundation (TDV) delivered Qurbani meat to 2,000 needy families on the first day of Eid in Cambodia, a Southeast Asian country.<\/p>\n
Under the slogan \u201cShare Your Qurbani, Get Closer to Your Brother,\u201d TDV is conducting its proxy Qurbani program in 85 countries this year.<\/p>\n
In Cambodia, one of the countries where the program is implemented, foundation officials and volunteers who arrived before Eid procured qurbani animals through donations from benefactors. The animals were inspected by veterinarians and officials, and those meeting the required criteria were transported to designated slaughter areas across the country.<\/p>\n
On the first day of Eid, 100 cattle were slaughtered, and the Qurbani meat was distributed to needy families.<\/p>\n
The distribution ceremony held in Battambang Province attracted significant public interest. Speaking at the ceremony held at Nuru Islam Mosque, Cambodia\u2019s Deputy Minister of Education, Youth and Sports, Nos Sales, stated that he attended on behalf of the Senior Minister in charge of Special Missions (Islamic Affairs), Othsman Hassan.<\/p>\n
Nos Sales emphasized that Eid days conduct qurbani, faith, and generosity, adding, \u201cWe extend our special thanks to the T\u00fcrkiye Diyanet Foundation delegation. We are grateful for the greetings and support delivered to our community through TDV. Their generosity and international solidarity are of great significance to us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bilal Aksoy, Chief Inspector of the Presidency of Religious Affairs of T\u00fcrkiye and a member of the TDV delegation, expressed his happiness in delivering the entrusted donations of Turkish benefactors to the needy.<\/p>\n
Highlighting that brotherhood knows no borders, Aksoy said: \u201cThe essence of Eid al-Adha is sacrifice, faith, and unity. It reminds us that we are all brothers. Our brotherhood extends beyond borders. As Muslims, we believe we must support one another whenever needed and under all circumstances. True brotherhood means not leaving any brother alone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Battambang Governor Leang Veasna also thanked the Turkish people for their support.<\/p>\n
In addition to distributing meat at the mosque courtyard, TDV teams also reached families in their homes to deliver Qurbani shares. A total of 2,000 families were assisted on the first day of Eid.<\/p>\n
On the second day, 50 more cattle will be slaughtered for entrusted shares, and meat will be delivered to an additional 1,000 families.<\/p>\n
