Urgent!!! Africa under Water - Special Duas and assistance requested - In recent weeks, many countries on the African continent have been severely affected by the torrential rains resulting in flooding. The deluge has affected 22 countries such as Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Togo and Ghana.
It is estimated that 1.5 million people have been affected so far with hundreds losing their lives in one of Africa's biggest natural calamities in recent times. The incessant downpours across the east and west of Africa has destroyed vast settlements and caused heavy loss of crops and livestock. The people of these countries are mainly subsistence farmers who are heavily dependent on their crops and animals for survival.
The situation is absolutely grim. Millions are suffering in miserable conditions. Thousands could die if help does not reach in time.
As a neighbour to these countries, we are duty-bound to assist in whatever way possible. Let us take this opportunity in the blessed month of Ramadaan to stretch our hands in Dua and financial help for the suffering millions.
May Almighty Allah Taála overcome and grant those affected a speedy relief.
