LEBANON RELIEF FUND


The World is once again witnessing Israel bombarding Lebanon resulting in deaths of innocent lives and damage to properties. 

 

Islamic Scholars including Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Sistani, Ayatollah Syed Ali Khamenei, Ayatollah Sayyed M. H. Fadlullah, Ayatollah Nasir Makarem Shirazi and Ayatollah Fazel Lankarani have issued statements condemning this violent and merciless act in Lebanon.
 
The offices of our Maraje' in Damascus have set up relief programmes to help the refugees arriving n Syria for protection, of which many are women and children. The World Federation's contact in Damascus has visited the offices of the Maraje' and has visited the Lebanese refugees.
 

The World Federation has decided to help the destitute Lebanese public through the Office of our Marja' Ayatullah al Udhama Syed Ali al Husaini al Sistani.  

Members of the Community wishing to donate towards cause, may channel their funds through their respective Jamaat for further disbursement to the Africa Federation or direct to the Africa Federation Secretariat in Nairobi or Dar-es-Salaam. 

Mumineen are requested to pray for the safety of our brothers in Lebanon and for the souls of the departed ones and the health of the injured.
