Turkish charities extend helping hand during Eid al-Adha (SETimes.com)

Turkish charities extend helping hand during Eid al-Adha (SETimes.com): During Eid al-Adha animals are slaughtered to symbolise the Prophet Abraham's willingness to sacrifice. Today's tradition calls for a portion of the meat to be distributed to the needy.

In the spirit of the holiday, the Turkish state and charity organisations collect aid and food donations to distribute to vulnerable populations in Turkey and abroad.
