On Monday, 6th February, two powerful earthquakes with a magnitude of 7.8 and 7.6 struck the southeastern region of Türkiye in Kahramanmaras and Elbistan at 4:17 am and 13:24 local time. 10 provinces with more than 13.5 million people have been affected. These deadly quakes were felt as far as Cairo, Syria and Lebanon.

🔴 More than 50,000 deaths 
🔴 110,000+ injured
🔴 100,000 collapsed or heavily damaged buildings

Many buildings collapsed including residential buildings where many families were sleeping in the early hours of Monday morning.

This is undoubtedly one of the largest earthquakes experienced for hundreds of years, Martin Mai, professor of geophysics at King Abdullah University told Al Jazeera. It had the power of 130 nuclear bombs causing huge damage in the regions affected.

It is winter in the region with sub zero degree temperatures of -5 to -15 degrees celsius. Survivors cannot return to their homes due to dozens of aftershocks and thousands of damaged and thus unstable buildings risking collapse.

The people in southeastern Türkiye had generously hosted most of the 4 million Syrian refugees and now need help themselves. Türkiye has given so many of us so much in happy holiday memories - now it's time for us to give back. 

Please donate generously in a race against time to help save lives and share this campaign with your network. As the projects are Zakat applicable, feel free to donate your Zakat towards this campaign.

 

100,000 Euro Pledge

At HalalBooking, we pledge to match any donation up to the maximum total of €100,000. Every donation helps, whether it's something as small as €10 or a contribution as much as €10,000. If we raise €100,000, HalalBooking will match it to make it €200,000.

Emergency Aid via Islamic Relief

By Allah's (SWT) will, your donation will go towards urgent medical supplies, food, warm clothes, mattresses, blankets and shelter for those most in need in partnership with Islamic Relief who has teams on the ground in Türkiye, Syria and Lebanon delivering aid as we speak.

👉A £50/€55 donation can provide emergency medical kits

👉A £80/€90 donation can provide a cash grant for a single family to purchase essentials in an emergency.

👉£170/€190 can provide two families with emergency shelter.

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) taught us in a famous hadith: “The believers in their mutual kindness, compassion and sympathy are just like one body. When one of the limbs suffers, the whole body responds to it with wakefulness and fever” [al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Jazakh Allah Khair.
