Dr. Mohammed Obeidat, the president of the
Consumer Protection Association, stated in a press release today that the
difficult living conditions experienced by the poor have led to increased
poverty and need among these families. This necessitates all of us to stand by
their side and extend a helping hand, especially during this blessed month,
Al-Ghad reported.
Obeidat also pointed out the decrease in
households' spending on food due to changes in their spending priorities caused
by increases in fuel, electricity, water, and other service prices, which have
added additional pressures. This may affect the provision of aid and assistance
to needy families, requiring attention from charitable organizations, national
institutions, and benefactors to increase allocations for these families during
this holy month.
He urged well-off benefactors, national
institutions, and traders to hasten their charitable contributions and not
delay them, as these families urgently need both monetary and in-kind
donations. Providing charity, Zakat funds, and donations will help these needy
families secure and purchase essential goods they desperately need.
Obeidat added that homemakers have a great
responsibility towards these needy families, especially if they are neighbors,
relatives, or friends, by allocating a portion of their charity and in-kind
contributions during cooking to these families who struggle to make ends meet.
