How you can help for Hurricane Dorian Disaster Relief in Bahamas?

Hurricane Dorian has created catastrophic damage in the Bahamas. The Bahamas government has revealed that approximately 70% of the homes are underwater, and there is “tremendous social and economic dislocation and disruption.” 

The devastation caused by Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas has left dozens of people confirmed dead, and potentially thousands still missing. A survivor in one of the worst-hit areas of Grand Bahama told the Guardian:

 “We have no food. No water. We’re abandoned here.” 

Hubert Minnis, the Prime Minister of the Bahamas, called the damage “unprecedented”. Another official estimated the damage could take hundreds of millions, if not billions of Dollars, to repair.

Thousands of residents of Grand Bahama and Abaco islands are without shelter, stranded by flooding and are likely to suffer shortages of food, water and medicine that will worsen without quick action by the international community, according to coordinated messages from the United Nations, the US state department, the US embassy in Nassau and local officials. A wide range of organizations are raising money to provide immediate disaster relief to survivors in the Bahamas.

Human Concern International, one of the biggest Canadian Muslim Organizations helping in ending global poverty and saving lives, is on the ground working hand in hand with local NGO’s, and is involved in the distribution of Emergency Relief Kits; consisting of food, water, and hygiene items. 

It is requested that all fellow Muslims try to contribute and Donate Now for the Bahamas Flood Relief Fund. Let’s all work together to help those in need!
