From the article:

The Turkish Red Crescent on Wednesday began distributing meat to 3,000 families in four Yemeni provinces on the occasion of Eid al-Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice.

The head of the Turkish Red Crescent branch in Yemen, Ibrahim Obaid, told Anadolu that the meat distribution is taking place in Aden, Abyan, Lahij and Dhali. "The distribution process, which continues until the third day of Eid, includes the poorest families, people with special needs, orphans, displaced people, and women," Obaid said.

The Muslim holiday commemorates the willingness of the Prophet Ibrahim, or Abraham, to sacrifice his son at God's command, before the last-minute divine substitute of a ram. During the holiday, sacrificed meat is distributed to the needy.

Since the outbreak of the fighting in Yemen, the Turkish Red Crescent has been providing various humanitarian aid to the displaced and those affected by the war, as well as helping the poorest families.
