Generous people in Bradford helped feed 6,000 needy families around the world over Christmas.

A spokesman for the Bradford-based Human Relief said it managed to distribute 17,000 kilograms of meat to the poor and hungry because of well-wishers.

The Foundation's project co-ordinator Yousaf Razaq said thanks to the cash help it received, each family in need got about three kilograms of meat.

He said: "This was a tremendous effort in making sure that the vulnerable and the destitute also enjoyed proper food over the Christmas and Eid period."

Countries that benefited included Iraq, Palestine, Kashmir, Sudan, Bangladesh, India, Ethiopia and Somalia.
