Dear Brothers and Sisters
Assalamu Alaikum!
I trust that you are well! I have no doubt that you are all painfully aware of the desperate situation on the warfront in Libya with untold casualties overwhelming medical services in both east and west Libya. My sincere appreciation for all your noble efforts in alleviating the pain and suffering of the innocent casualties, men, women and children caught in the constant bombardment of ‘strategic locations’. Our colleagues in and outside Libya, desperately needs our support. Could you kindly, but urgently, assemble the listed medical supplies and equipment and ship by any possible means to the affected areas. Please find attached contact details of our brothers in the region who will gladly assist in the transport and final disposal of the supplies.

Dear Dr. Khaled Diab
Head of International Programs Department
Qatar Red Crescent
Assalamu Alaikum
We are currently in contact with the administration of Misrata Hospital in Libya. They sent us the the hospital’s requirements that include consumables and medical instruments of variable types (see Appendix I). This represents urgent requirements at these times of disaster and siege.
The only access to them is the sea route.
We in FIMA have contacted several medical relief organizations in a trial to meet their needs.
Qatar Red Crescent is well known for worldwide remarkable humanitarian achievements, and we anticipate your leading role in the Misrata Hospital situation.
Specifically, QRC is more efficient to orchestrate contacts with the International Red Cross Society and other organizations, to ensure the delivery of relief materials via the sea route.
Waiting for your kind response.
Sincerely yours,
Aly A. Misha’l MD, FACP
FIMA Exec. Director
