Prices Up to Dh7,000: Eid Al Adha Udhiya Delivery Services Now Available on UAE Grocery Apps
Grocery apps Careem and Noon are bringing back their popular Udhiya delivery services, giving UAE residents a convenient way to fulfil their Eid Al Adha sacrifice from the comfort of home. From May 15 to June 4, residents in Dubai and Abu Dhabi can pre-order sacrificial animals through Careem Groceries, choosing to either receive the meat at home or donate it to the UAE Food Bank. The platform is partnering once again with Dhabayeh Al Emarat, offering options such as a local goat for Dh1,723 and a Naimi sheep for Dh2,143. Noon Minutes, in collaboration with Zabehaty (Oasis Livestock), is offering a broader range, including a full cow or camel for Dh7,000, alongside Somali goats (Dh1,000), Kashmiri sheep (Dh1,300), and local Nuaimi sheep (Dh1,800). Customers can choose specific time slots for delivery and preferred meat cuts. The Udhiya, or Qurbani, commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience. Meat from the sacrifice is traditionally shared with family, friends, and those in need. Chase Lario, VP of Careem Groceries, said last year's strong response motivated the team to bring the service back. 'Customers loved the ease and convenience... and we're excited to support this meaningful practice again,' he said. Users on both apps can select the day of sacrifice during the first four days of Eid. Careem also enables direct donation to the UAE Food Bank, which has provided over 70 million meals to date. Eid Al Adha is expected to fall on Saturday, June 7, with a possible five-day holiday from June 6 to June 10, subject to Moon sightings. News Source: Khaleej Times

Melbourne father reveals what son told parents after vanishing from Olinda Playspace east of city over Easter

Parsa was reunited with his parents and uttered just one heartbreaking word when in the arms of his mother. 'He is non-verbal but the first thing that he said was 'scared', so obviously he had actually spent a very scary night alone in the darkness and that breaks my heart,' his dad Siamak Naimi told 7NEWS. The family had spent Good Friday at the regional playground when, in a 'split second', Parsa was gone. 'We frantically started searching for him,' Naimi said. 'It was a very scary moment. 'It was a feeling of fear, anxiety, desperation.' Police and the SES were called in before hundreds of locals joined the search. 'I just felt that 'OK, I'm not alone. There's a lot of people who are actually searching and they're taking this very seriously',' Naimi said. Asher Shinkfield, 18, made the all important discovery on a trail he was riding. Naimi said he now considers the strangers who helped find his son to be 'family', and says he is 'indebted forever'. 'This is the Aussie way.

Knox Acting Senior Sergeant Mel Gostimir said police were ecstatic Parsa was located safe and well. 'Searches for lost children with autism can be particularly challenging as often they are unable to communicate with searchers,' she said.

Even though his son already wears an Apple AirTag when they go out, his father has since invested in a new tracking device with better range and accuracy.
