“On the first day of the Eid al-Fitr holiday, about 16 thousand people went to medical institutions throughout the country due to injuries received during the slaughter of slaughtered animals,” TASS quotes the minister’s publication on the social network Kh .
Koca clarified that the majority of the victims occurred in Ankara (1,274 people), in Istanbul (840) and in Izmir (416).
According to the demands of the Turkish authorities, on Eid al-Fitr, the slaughter of sacrificed animals must take place in specially designated places, complying with all health regulations. However, these requirements are often violated and thousands of Turks suffer injuries and cuts every year.
