The Embassy of Israel in Rwanda on Thursday extended support worth Rwf1 million which they say would help provide food for the most vulnerable people.

Ron Adam, Israeli Ambassador in Rwanda, held a courtesy meeting with the Mufti of Rwanda, Sheikh Salim Hitimana, according to the statement from the Embassy.

The two discussed various programmes in place for the Muslim community in Rwanda and the potential collaboration with the embassy to promote exchange of two communities.

"The Embassy is recognizant that, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Muslim community has changed how they are celebrating Eid al Fitr this year," reads the statement in part.

"

[The Embassy of Israel in Rwanda] is pleased to support Rwanda Muslim Community with one million Rwandan francs to buy essential food for the families in need," the statement adds.
