$1 Million appeal launched to help victims of Haiti quake

Haitians are in desperate need for support after a 7.0-magnitude earthquake rocked their island nation yesterday.

An estimated 3 million people were affected by the quake, which was the worst in the region in 200 years.

Islamic Relief USA has launched a $1 million appeal to help the victims.  In addition, Islamic Relief USA is working with partners to ship urgently needed aid to relieve the suffering.

An untold number of people are still trapped under rubble, as thousands of buildings were destroyed in Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s capitol. Homes, schools, hospitals, even the National Palace where the president resides were all destroyed.

Injured children are taking refuge in collapsed buildings and under debris, as aftershocks continue to rattle the small island.

Victims are in desperate need for food, water, shelter and medicine, especially since Haiti’s infrastructure is already very modest and has now been brought to its knees by the quake.

Haiti is the poorest country in the Western hemisphere.  For more info go to www.IslamicReliefUSA.org

It's devastating what has happen'd to Haiti. May Allah bless the people and there families with patience and fortitude. May He bless them with help only he can provide. However, I do want it to call people to the beautiful story of Haiti; and, how they usurp'd their independence of colonial rule. We all should want that type of independence in our lives as well as our thinking. Please, respect'd brother/sisters do not be so far gone to think Haiti's condition, its economic plight, came from somewhere in the clouds...

Quickly, I apologize for the misspelling of there and not their families (one should always proof read his work). May Allah allow everyone who reads this to comprehend all the doors of junnah! Ma salaam
