Among the various Ramadan projects implemented by the Palestinian Orphan Home Association, 500 kilos were distributed to poor and needy families and families of orphans in all governorates of the Gaza Strip, where each family benefited 2 kilos of dates.

The fasting person usually breaks the dates because of its great benefits in relieving and treating inflammation of the joints and blood vessels, treating anemia and maintaining cardiovascular health and maintaining the level of cholesterol in the blood intact.

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ” When you break fast, you should do it with a date-fruit for there is blessing in it, and if you do not find a date- fruit, break it with water for it is pure.”
