Following relevant veterinary checks at the borders, the document on importation of the 33-ton cargo was signed. The cargo was accepted by representative of the office of the Cabinet of Ministers on refugees and migration matters Afat Hasanov, deputy chairman of the State Committee on refugees and IDPs issues Sahib Rahimov, head of the Islamic Relief Organization Saad Abdullah Ahmad.
Representative of the Islamic Development Bank Ehab Ahmad Abdul Valeh said that carcasses of animals were sacrificed at the Mina plain of the sacred city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia dispatched 2500 carcasses yearly. In consideration of Azerbaijan’s request, the weight of Gurban sacrifices was doubled. We want to take part in the distribution process to make sure that the aid reached the refugees.
