Algiers, Algeria | March 2nd, 2025 — In a remarkable display of humanitarian commitment, the Algerian Red Crescent (ARC) inaugurated the El Iftar Tent in Djebahia, strategically positioned along the East-West Highway in Bouira, offering a vital lifeline to fasting travelers and the underprivileged during the sacred month of Ramadan. The initiative, which serves as a testament to the values of solidarity and generosity, was officially launched on Saturday evening under the leadership of ARC President Ibtissam Hamlaoui, accompanied by Issam Bedrissi, Secretary-General of the General Union of Algerian Traders and Craftsmen (UGCAA), alongside local authorities, including Bouira’s Wali, Abdelkrim Laâmouri.
The El Iftar Tent is part of a broader nationwide campaign by the ARC, providing relief and sustenance to those observing the fast while traveling. With an impressive capacity of 1,200 meals per day, this initiative ensures that no traveler on the East-West Highway is left without a meal to break their fast. Speaking to the press, President Hamlaoui emphasized the significance of this endeavor, highlighting that this is the fifth such tent established by the ARC along this crucial transportation corridor.
“This initiative is a reflection of our unwavering commitment to humanitarian aid and social responsibility. The El Iftar Tent in Djebahia, like its counterparts, is designed to cater to the needs of fasting individuals, ensuring they find comfort and nourishment during their travels,” she stated.
The inauguration also marked the launch of a caravan of aid supplies generously provided by the UGCAA, aimed at bolstering the operational capacity of ARC’s community restaurants across Algeria. These supplies will play a crucial role in sustaining the large-scale distribution of meals throughout Ramadan, reinforcing national efforts to support those in need.
During her visit, Hamlaoui joined travelers and local residents in breaking the fast, symbolizing unity and shared commitment to community service. She also engaged with young volunteers and ARC members in Bouira, praising their dedication and relentless efforts in ensuring the success of this noble mission.
