Syria Relief III – News from IMA North America

Inshallah, IMA North America (IMANA) will fund this. I have put
forth the information for final approval from the relief committee.
We will forward USD 50,000.00 immediately for the purchase of
emergency medicines.

Please also forward us the proposal for a field/triage hospital. We
will support financially as well as with volunteers.

I am returning from Sudan on 9 March, and will be flying via Beirut.
Is it possible for me to visit the site on 9 March?
