Muslims in London have donated 10 tonnes of food to feed the homeless.

The charity drive, organised by Muslim Aid and the East London Mosque in Whitechapel, saw hundreds of congregants arrive to Friday prayers bringing food donations

The food will be given to homeless charity Crisis, with more than 90 per cent going to non-Muslims,

Dilowar Khan, Executive Director of the East London Mosque said: “It was heart-warming to see so many people bringing food to the Mosque and a good sign of our common humanity. We need to build on this and make sure that we support those less fortunate all year round.”
