The humanitarian situation in Yemen is deteriorating quickly.
Since mid-March severe fighting has taken over the country. Innocent families have been affected in horrible ways:
—More than 700 people have died. (May Allah (swt) grant them mercy.)
—3,000+ people have been injured. (May Allah grant them health.)
—Some 300,000 people have been internally displaced. (May Allah grant them patience.)
Hospitals are overwhelmed, the electricity keeps cutting off, and food is scarce. Islamic Relief has been working in Yemen since 1998, and now, international Islamic Relief staff are on the ground, undertaking urgent aid efforts to help survivors.
So far, we’ve been able to give emergency food aid and urgent medical support, but we need to do more. Please, attend this important event to raise awareness and support for the critical humanitarian work going on in Yemen right now.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said:
“There will come upon you the people of Yemen. They are the most soft-hearted and compassionate. Verily, iman is in Yemen, wisdom is in Yemen and I find the relief from your Lord coming from the direction of Yemen”. (reported by Abu Hurairah)
Please keep Yemen in your dua/prayers.
