Bros and Sisters

Assalamu Alaikum!

Alhamdulillah ! FIMA & her partners has responded with the purchase and supply of 5 Interagency Emergency Health Kit (IEHK) each serving the health needs of 10,000 for 3 months (funded & airlifted by IMANA)

We have commenced fundraising and other collection drives for the purchase of essential medicines, disposables, and surgical supplies, desperately required to maintain health services.  The IMA’s have mobilized their medical missions with the first from Egypt (IMA Egypt/Arab Medical Union) waiting at the Rafah border to cross into Gaza. Medical mission from Doctors World Wide Turkey (DWWT), IMA Malaysia/Ikram Health, IMA North America (IMANA), IMA Pakistan(PIMA), IMASA (South Africa) are waiting their turn in delivering critical care and treatment.

We desperately need more support and resources to sustain the health services in Gaza.

We urgently require Medical specialists in the following disciplines: Emergency medicine, ICU, General Surgery, Neurosurgery, Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Orthopaedic Surgery and Vascular Surgery.

We desperately need professional nurses with experience in theatre, ICU and casualty care.

The traumatized population especially children will need psychosocial support and counseling. Kindly contact me with your details.

We need your support in the following critical areas:

Essential medicines, consumables, equipment and other supplies

Blankets, shelter, mattresses, hygiene kits, drinking water and sanitation for 5000 displaced people

Food parcels for 30,000 starving individuals daily

Drinking water for 350,000 in areas where their supply was destroyed

We have to escalate our supply of medicines and other urgent humanitarian items  to make any impact on the delivery of health services.

During this holy month of Ramadhan, please donate generously and help save lives. Your Zakah, Lillah and Sadaqah will not only save lives, alleviate pain and suffering, putting food on the table during this month of fasting at Iftaar, clothe and shelter those without.

You will be rewarded with HIS choicest blessings for your generous contribution.

Please find our banking details below for your contributions.

Jazakum’Allah Khairan Katheeran

Israel commenced its “Operation Protective Edge” on Tuesday 8 July/10 Ramadhan 2014 with a merciless barrage of more than 400 aerial attacks causing devastation and destruction in its wake. Over the past 48 hours, nearly 100 innocent victims were killed and over 500 seriously injured, the majority of whom were women and children. Homes, commercial buildings, roads, masajid and even health facilities were destroyed by these illegal and barbaric attacks. These figures are expected to escalate dramatically as the invasion continues.

Gaza’s health facilities have been strangled over the past few years since the last invasion during 2009 with blockage of all access points and an embargo on essential supplies and equipment including fuel and electricity. With the recent dramatic influx of casualties, Gaza’s health facilities and its personnel are struggling to continue its services. They urgently require medicines, surgical supplies and disposables, saline and other fluids. The displaced population require clothing, blankets, shelter, food, drinking water, sanitation and other humanitarian aids.

FIMA has embarked on its relief operation by purchasing these essential items with the assistance of a local partner, PIMA (Palestinian International Medical Aid). We further appeal to all IMA’s to coordinate medical missions to assist the struggling medical facilities in Gaza (health officials with experience in emergency medicine, surgery and orthopaedics). With the volatility of the situation, the Rafah border will be opened periodically for this purpose. Please find our banking details attached below.

May Allah reward you all abundantly for your prayers and contributions during this blessed month of Ramadhan. All forms of charity are acceptable including Zakah, Sadaqah and Lillah
