Once again Sri
Lanka is
encountering a humanitarian crisis of huge proportions.
Around two hundred thousand ethnic Tamils have been displaced due to
the ongoing military operations of the Sri Lankan armed forces against the
Tamil Tigers.
All Muslim organizations and groups in Sri Lanka have launched a
massive fund raising program to ease the government’s burden of
providing humanitarian assistance by helping the civilians who escaped
from the war zones.
Our partners in the effected region have sent a team, in coordination with the Muslim Council of Sri Lanka,
consisting of ten cooks, to provide cooked meals for the victims. They aresupplying 1000 meals a day initially, which will be
increased to at least 5000 as soon as possible.
One day’s meal costs $2.00/person USD
The health care need too is so immense that state hospitals in the
area are unable to cope with the demand. Our medical
team is ready to move in to treat 500 patients a day which will
cost $800.00/day USD.
All of these goals cannot be achieved without your support. Help the displaced children and families, by making a donation today. Every day counts.
You
can let Muslims around the world benefit from your Zabiha. Our Global
Zabiha Program can help you perform the sacrifice of
your choice in a country of your choice. This helps thousands of needy
Muslim families in that region and strengthens their faith in the
Islamic brotherhood.
