Mesut Ozil Makes Generous Ramadan Donation

TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Mesut Ozil has shown his generosity once more after donating £80,000 to help Muslims that have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic over Ramadan.

The Arsenal midfielder - who plays for Germany but is of Turkish descent - will help provide food and aid for 16,000 Muslims throughout the holy month which began on April 23.

The Arsenal star - who last month was criticized for failing to agree to a 12.5 pay cut the Gunners were looking to impose on their entire squad during the ongoing coronavirus crisis - made the donation to the Turkish Red Crescent to help Muslims during their holy month.

The money is set to help provide iftar - the meal eaten to end that day's fast - for around 16,000 Muslims across 2,000 families both in Turkey and Syria.

"At the Red Crescent, we stand by those in need 365 days a year. Of course, we do this thanks to donations made by philanthropist friends who follow our work," said Kerem Kinik, the head of the Turkish Red Crescent, via the Daily Sabah.
