Ramadan Charity Helps Pakistan s Poor
Philanthropists, charities provide rations to less fortunate during holy month. Despite a surge in coronavirus cases and rising inflation, grocery stores and supermarkets in Karachi, the country s commercial capital, are overcrowded with customers ahead of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
Neatly wrapped packets and boxes of lentils, flour, rice, cooking oil, tea, spices, beverages, and other food items are arranged in shelves at a sprawling supermarket in the city s eastern district.
Citizens are buying more than the usual not only to cope with the extra consumption, but to distribute among the less fortunate, or those who have been unemployed due to an economic slowdown aided by the COVID-19 pandemic.

KITCHENER The trial for Mohammed Younus, the man accused of killing his brother, continued Wednesday. Younus has been charged with first-degree murder for fatally stabbing his brother Shamsul Alamshah on August 27th 2017. Alamshah’s wife, Maria Fayyaz took the stand Wednesday. She told court the events leading up to her husbands death “happened so quickly.” The agreed statement of facts shows in 2014, Younus loaned Alamshah $20,000 to help purchase a home. In 2017, Younus asked for that money back out of anger towards his brother. Fayyaz told court Younus was upset Alamshah would not help sponsor Younus’ son to come in Canada.
