It has been 11 long days since the disaster hit Burma killing 10′s of thousands of people and people are in a desperate state waiting for help. Unfortunately, as you may have read or seen on the news, the government of Burma is not that forthcoming in accepting the help of others in “their crisis.” This has hampered relief efforts and is causing further deaths. There are some agencies, however, on the ground helping and Islamic Relief is partnering up with them to supply necessary aid.

There is also the unfolding disaster in China where over 13.000 people have been reported killed by the earthquake and a further 60.000 missing (which could rise)

We need to put our hands in our pockets and spend and we need to take action to help raise money for these disasters

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad says:

‘And strive with the strength of your legs to seek aid, rise with the strength of your arms -with weakness; all of this is from the doors of sadaqa’ Ahmed
