Dear Brothers and Sisters
Assalamu Alaikum!
Libya has been driven into a bloody battle bordering on civil war between the warring factions of ordinary civilians seeking freedom from oppression and corruption and the security forces of a callous dictator. Thousands are feared dead and many thousands more injured during these unrelenting skirmishes. Foreign migrant workers were the first to flee this territory with an estimated 210 000 crossing the Libyan borders into Egypt, Tunisia and Niger. Recent reports from our partners in IMANA and DWW have confirmed that the western borders are currently stable and well resourced to manage the fleeing refugees most of whom are repatriated immediately. There is no immediate need of any emergency aid to this region.
However, the eastern border is very different: Arab Medical Union (AMU) have been very busy in the region attending to the serious injuries of the numerous casualties of these battles. They urgently require our support to fund the following urgent activities:
This situation could easily spill over onto the western region when the borders are opened or the security situation improves (Gaddafi’s forces are patrolling the border and preventing any Libyan national to leave the country). In fact, sources on these borders fear that the exodus may approach 1 million when the borders are released.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, our partners operating on the ground under extremely difficult and often hazardous conditions urgently needs our support. They have the personnel capacity to deal with the crisis but require financial assistance to sustain their relief operations in the region. Please open your hearts (and purses) to the innocent victims of this senseless carnage. Donate generously to facilitate their missions and bring relief to the pain and suffering of the injured and displaced families affected by this war.
n And if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole community.(Al-Ma’idah:32)
n Those who spend their wealth in the path of Allah by night and by day, secretly and openly, for them is their reward with their Sustainer. There is neither fear on them nor shall they grieve. (Al-Baqara:262)

Dear Brothers and Sisters
Assalamu Alaikum!
The upheaval in Egypt resulted in over 300 deaths and more than 1,200 serious injuries. Egypt’s health care system was severely tested in providing care, treatment and support for the injured and the families of the deceased martyrs. Our brothers and sisters in IMA Egypt and Arab Medical Union need our support now just as any other humanitarian disaster that we had experienced and responded to in the recent past.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, kindly rally support among your members and embark on a collection drive to support our colleagues in Egypt. Kindly forward your cash contributions to the FIMA Relief account for distribution to the Egyptians (details below). May Allah (SWT) reward you all for your generosity and kindness!
Jazakumallah Khairan Katheeran!
