GAZA RELIEF
Dear Brothers and Sisters
Assalamu Alaikum!
We are eternally grateful for the numerous comforts and pleasures bestowed upon us by our ever-merciful Creator! However, the Palestinian nation, especially those in Gaza, are trapped in a hell of death and destruction. With the Israeli offensive entering its 3rd day of merciless devastation of Gaza causing death to over 300 innocent men, women and children and pain, injury and suffering to over 1,500 more.
Witnesses on the ground speak of the acrid smell of blood death on the streets. Following 3 days of unrelenting airstrikes, long-range missile and heavy artillery bombardment, Israel is preparing its ground offensive to annihilate our brothers and sisters in Palestine. They, the victims, are crying for care and relief from this suffering.
Partners International Medical Aid (PIMA), a Palestinian humanitarian relief NGO working closely with the people of Gaza has identified 3 levels of intervention:
- medical equipment, emergency supplies and medicines
- generators to sustain the functioning of existing facilities
- ambulances to transport the injured to the local hospitals or across the border to Egypt
- medical relief teams consisting of emergency specialists especially surgeons (general, vascular, neuro and orthopaedic surgeons)
With regard to MEDICAL RELIEF TEAMS, PIMA will provide all the local logistic support (accommodation, subsistence and transport etc) for any individual volunteering his/her services. Please contact your local relief coordinator in your IMA to coordinate your travel arrangements which will in turn, be related to me for final management. You will be based in Egypt and operate from there.
As far as the OTHER issues are concerned, the most efficient method would be to transfer cash contributions to the relief organizations on the ground. Please coordinate a collection drive in your respective countries and deposit the money into your local account with the universal password "Gaza" identifying the intention of the contribution. The collective contribution can be deposited in the FIMA Relief account (details below) or the PIMA account (details to follow). All forms of contributions accepted: Lillah, Sadakah, Zakaah, even your unwanted interest!
May Allah (SWT) guide us all in the right direction and reward all with HIS mercy, compassion and choicest blessings, Insha'Allah! Remember: change will only come with collective and informed action!
Jazakum Allah Khaira

Postponement of 6th Umrah Program
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Assalamu Alaikum.
I hope this message finds you in the best condition of health and Iman. Further to our earlier announcement for the 6th Umrah Program for Medical Stuents, we would like to announce to you the following:
Till this time only 3 IMAs managed to send to us the list of participants. There was no response from other IMAs. Some people had major difficulties in getting Umrah visa. We were surprised to find that Umrah visa is closed during the planned period for our program. This was different from our understanding of the new regulation which allows for Umra during the whole year except during the Hajj season. We tried our best to rectify the matter but without avail. In view of all this situation, we decided to postpone the 6th Umrah program for 2 months (April instead of February).
