Dear Brothers and Sisters       Assalaamu Alaykum

Hope you are well with the grace and mercy of Allah (swa).

Johannesburg has been plagued with xenophobic-related violence for the past 2 weeks and has been a result of many foreign residents being driven from their homes.  This horror has left thousands displaced without shelter, clothing and food.

IMA is humbly requesting your financial assistance in their time of need, whereby many innocent families, including, women and children are enduring a great struggle for survival.

Your contribution will be greatly rewarded, Dunyaa, Qabr and Akhirah, Inshaa-Allah. Please deposit all monies in IMA Relief Account:

Account Name: Islamic Medical Association

   WE NEED YOUR HELP !

Assalamu Alaikum to all

I have been in contact with Dr.Cathy Graham, Head of False Bay  Hospital, and Dr. Yusuf Jano medical manager of South Peninsula Day Hospitals. They are responsible for the clinics at Soetwater and Youngsfield refugee camps.


They have asked the IMA to assist with providing medical support to  Youngsfield - this is in addition to the support already being  supplied to Soetwater. After meeting with Dr. Jano at Youngsfield on  Sunday, it was decided that a doctor is needed for one hour  (initially) during the day up till about 3pm and for 2 hours on Saturday 
and Sunday. We were hoping that GPs or other doctors could avail  themselves for this during their lunchtimes during the week and when free over weekends.

In addition we still need to continue to provide  the service at Soetwater. There is a possibilty that two further camps may need assistance in the near
future  We will keep you posted.

Please forward this request on to anyone you think may be available.  We desperately need more man power to make this endeavour more  sustainable and not to overstretch our already limited human resources.

Please contact Tougheeda at the IMA office (021 762 1414/079 612 9592) to put your name on the roster.

Your assistance is much appreciated and may you be abundantly  rewarded, Insha Allah.
