Outlined below are the dates and timings for the distribution of dates:

• April 8-9, from 1pmto 3pm.

• April 23-25, from 9:30am to 12pm.

The distribution of dates will be overseen by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, with each household entitled to one packet of dates. Individuals must present their ID cards during collection.
