The meals are prepared by a small, local partner, National Agency for Family Care (Food Bank) and distributed by DCA Coordinator Omar al Majdawali and a team of volunteers. Collections in Denmark also made it possible to start distribution of baskets with vegetables to 1000 families ( around 7000 people) and baskets filled with canned food to 700 families (around 5000 people).
