The scholar Fadlallah then spoke and said: “The Eid comes amid the difficult circumstances most Lebanese are suffering. This suffering could have been greater and harsher were it not for the solidarity and cooperation we have witnessed and go on witnessing, which we saw in its clearest signs during Ramadan in the initiatives of goodness that were launched, and which we witness today at the Eid through the zakat al-fitr and the gifts offered by the people of goodness.”
He continued: “In this month orphans, people with disabilities, the elderly and those in need have received honour, attention and care. Here we must offer thanks and appreciation to everyone who gave, offered and provided, and who will carry on doing so. We want this giving not to stop but to continue.”
It is noted that the celebrations included iftars at all the care institutions, along with recreational activities and varied anthems.
