Today, Thursday, Al Azhar Relief Delegation in Bangladesh continues to distribute aids among Rohingya Muslims in Cox’s Bazar city, near to the Burmese borders. The Delegation is divided into three teams, each visiting a different camp, with the purpose of reaching out to the largest possible number of refugees. It is worth noting that the Delegation works in coordination with the Bangladeshi authorities that distribute aids as per a rationing system, to guarantee fair and sustainable distribution among almost all refugees.

H. E. Sheikh Ahmad At-Tayyeb, Grand Imam of Al Azhar and President of the Council of Muslim Elders (CME) issued directives to the Delegation members to distribute aids among the refugees by themselves and to constantly be present among the refugees in the camps, asserting that moral support and human communication be maintained to ensures the human bond, which is no less important than physical aids.

The Grand Imam has also made sure that the Delegation includes female members to maintain that Al Azhar, as the world’s largest Islamic institution, bears a humanitarian message to all fellow Rohingya Muslims, males and females alike.

It should also be noted that the distribution of humanitarian and medical aids, provided by the CME, continue for five days as per the directives of the Grand Imam of Al Azhar, the President of CME, Sheikh Ahmad At Tayyeb.
