Defense and Military Production Minister Sadqi Sobhi ordered Thursday the public services of the Armed Forces to distribute about 1.5 million free food rations to the most needy persons in several governorates on the occasion of Eidul Adha.

This comes upon directives of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi to ease burden on citizens in remote and poor areas.

A total of 4.5 million food rations have been delivered by the Armed Forces to most needy persons nationwide since the beginning of 2016 and till now.
