Dear Brothers and Sisters
Re: Tsunami Aceh Crisis
Assalamu Alaikum!

As you are all painfully aware South East Asia was devastated by an earthquake and subsequent tsunami tidal waves bringing death and destruction to many regions in the Indian Ocean.

Thus far more than 125000 people have been killed, over a million homeless or displaced without essential care and many more injured or affected by disease. The death toll is expected to rise dramatically if essential emergency services are not established soon.

Entire villages have been destroyed with both person and property destruction. Decomposing bodies are strewn between the rubble spreading disease, stagnant water, lack of pure/clean drinking water, and no food supplies for days, no accessible roads, are but some of the difficulties experienced.

The worst affected areas include the following:

• Aceh province in Sumatra, Northern Indonesia

• Southern Thailand including Phuket

• Sri Lanka coastal regions

• South East India

Our brothers and sisters in these regions need your urgent assistance. The IMA of Network Indonesia (IMANI) has established an emergency relief committee (Crisis Centre BSMI – Red Crescent of Indonesia) under the leadership of Dr Jamal Muhammad, who was appointed as the FIMA relief representative in that region as well.

As a result of the destroyed infrastructure and transport systems, it is best to send cash donations to the region with deposits into the following account:

FIMA RELIEF IN BUNDA ACHE- INDONESIA.

Doctors of Pima Arrived in Ache and started medical relief under the umbrella of FIMA.

The first Relief Mission of PIMA and AlKhidmat left for Indonesia on 10th of Jan. This mission is headed by Dr Mohammad Iqbal, General Secretary of PIMA and includes Prof Zafarullah Kundi who is an eminent Pediatrician of the country, Dr Nadeem Ahmed Kiani, Dr Anas Farhan Qazi and an IT expert Engineer Imtiaz Ahmed.

Tsunami relief mission of Pakistan Islamic Medical Association (PIMA) has started relief activities in worst-hit Aceh island of Indonesia.
The PIMA mission carried some 130 kilogram load of medicines with them from Pakistan and plan to procure more medicines on request cum demand basis from Jakarta.

On their arrival at Jakarta, Islamic Medical Association and Network of Indonesia (IMANI) received the PIMA delegation at Jakarta airport.
Chairman IMANI, Dr. Jamal Mohammad, who is working as the Coordinator for FIMA Relief Activities in Indonesia briefed the Pakistani doctors about the situation in Aceh.
Later, PIMA volunteers visited office of the Red Crescent Indonesia and exchanged views on the modus operandi of relief operations.

The chairman Red Crescent Indonesia (RCI) also briefed them about the situation of Aceh and the working of other NGOs. The RCI is the first NGO to arrive after the Tsunami disaster. He said situation in Indonesia is very grave. Dead bodies are still lying unburied, and about seventy thousand people are also missing. PIMA volunteers have called upon Fima and its member organizations to speed up their fund raising drive so that adequate relief could be provided to marooned people in Indonesia and elsewhere.

PIMA doctors are working in a hospital of ACHE , the doctors of which either left or died in the crisis. This team performed many surgeries and examined a number of patients.

PIMA is seriously thinking to take over this hospital and arrange doctors of different specialties, medicine and consumables
