The United Nations Resident Coordinator in Egypt Message on the Holy Month of Ramadan
22 March 2023
- The Holy month of Ramadan is an opportune time for showing solidarity, compassion, and coming together to uplift those who suffer from unfortunate circumstances.
Al-Salam Alikom!
On the occasion of the Holy month of Ramadan, I extend my warmest wishes to all Muslims observing this month.
This year, Ramadan comes during difficult global times.
Geo-political conflicts are unceasing. Climate shocks are swelling. Covid is still threatening. And the earthquakes in Turkiye and Syria left many people devastated, in dire need for support.
The Holy month of Ramadan is an opportune time for showing solidarity, compassion, and coming together to uplift those who suffer from unfortunate circumstances.
The Holy month of Ramadan is special.
The practices of sharing and caring for others prevail throughout the entire month. People enjoy organizing iftars together; families come closer, and charity becomes the norm.
These values and traditions are deeply rooted in the Egyptian society. They teach us humbleness, empathy, and dedication.
May these values and spirit continue to inspire us all to come together for the safety, dignity, and prosperity of all Egyptians.
Let us build together a just and peaceful world.
Ramadan Kareem!
