Turkey’s Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH) provides Syrians with around 750,000 breads daily during the month of Ramadan, an agency official said on Sunday.

“During the month of Ramadan, around 22.5 million breads will be distributed to Syrian families,” Selim Tosun, the IHH’s media adviser, told Anadolu Agency.

The demand of bread increases during Ramadan, he added.

“170,000 breads are made daily in the logistics center in [southern Hatay's] Reyhanli district,” Tosun said, adding the remaining breads are prepared in bakeries in different areas of Syria.
