On the occasion of Eid al-Fitr and at the end of the Holy Month of Ramadan, the UAE authorities deported 275 Pakistanis after releasing them from prisons and they returned from UAE to their homeland to celebrate Eid with their family.

The Pakistani diplomatic mission in the UAE told Khaleej Times that more than Pakistani 270 inmates were released from UAE during Ramadan and most of them returned to their homeland to celebrate Eid.

They stated that some of the people who were without documents did not fly back home.

In PAD’s annual Ramadan Welfare Campaign, the distribution of food packages to 950 families was completed.
