The Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) said, ‘The believer’s shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his charity.’ (Hadith Al-Tirmidhi)
Over 10,000 people are missing after Storm Daniel tore through Libya on 11 September, triggering deadly flooding. In Derna, two dams burst, sending powerful, terrifying floods coursing through the city, wiping out entire families. At least 11,300 people have been confirmed dead, with that figure expected to rise to 20,000. 40,000 people have been displaced and urgently need help to survive this catastrophe.
$100 - Emergency survival pack: Provide a Libyan family with food, water, medical aid, blankets, and shelter items.
Many of Libya’s eastern towns have been affected but in Bayda and Derna the devastation is cataclysmic. In the port city of Derna, home to 100,000 people, 25% of the city has been destroyed, at least 9,891 buildings collapsed, and 30,000 people have been displaced.
Survivors, desperate to hear news of their missing loved ones, are traumatized and urgently need life-saving items including food and shelter.
