CAIRO, March 27 (Xinhua) -- Donation to provide food aid for needy people is a kind tradition with a long history during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
In Yemen, Syria and some Middle East countries, charities and volunteers cook food and prepare Iftar, the fast-breaking dinner, for the poor and the displaced to observe a more joyful Ramadan amid the tough economic situation.
