2010 Haiti Earthquake Relief

Zakat Foundation has been intensifying immediate relief efforts in Haiti where a major earthquake struck Tuesday, January 12, and has possibly killed thousands of people. According to the UN this is the strongest earthquake to hit the Caribbean nation in 200 years.

Zakat Foundation has arranged for two cargo planes with relief supplies such as food packages, medical kits, and water to leave Miami later today. The poorest country in the Western hemisphere, Haiti does not have the proper infrastructure to respond to such a disaster. The death toll is expected to rise as collapsed homes are being dug through, and the Caribbean nation is appealing for international help.

Reuters television footage from the capital Port-au-Prince showed scenes of chaos and dazed civilians sobbing amid rubble. Zakat Foundation Executive Director, Khalil Demir, says, In this humanitarian disaster, we hope that everyone is able to support the relief efforts in Haiti. It is imperative that we act swiftly in order to avoid further disaster in areas where survivors face the threat of disease and hunger.

Its all over the news that every country except Saudi Arabia & Iran haven't donated any money to Haiti. Y r u mad at me?? Did u do the research 2 c if I was or was not right & exact?? U should go fuss with Iranians and Saudis & not me. I said in ENGLISH since that's the language that I speak that there is no God but Allah & Mohammed is His Messenger.

Y r u telling me something that every1 knows: Mohammed is the last prophet of Allah, & Messenger Elijah Muhamad is not a prophet. We agree.

How do you know that Iran and Saudi arabia didn't send any money to Haiti . Did you ask everyone of them ? Where do you get the report from ? You sure a very confused person . Why don't you repent and become a true muslim who says Lailahaillallah Muhammadar Rasulullah . There is no God to be worshipped except Allah and Muhammad is the prophet of Allah . Also , remember , Muhammad saw is the last prophet , no more prophet after him . Elijah Mohammed is not a prophet . repent !

All praises are due to Allah. I am so happy to hear this.

Do u want to hear something very sad?? I learned that every country in the entire world contributed money & food to the relief fund in Haiti except for Iran and Saudi Arabia. Isn't that horrible?? It makes Muslims look so bad.

As-Salaam-Alaikum.
