Settle down men. Have you contacted the Saudi Minister for Hajj for relief? What do I look like sending dollars to dinar country?
 
Take care men. May Allah be with you during Christmas.
Haruna.

Your Urgent Help in kindness is needed to rescue the Gambian Pilgrims in Mecca.

I'm just coming from talking to my dad in Mecca, who has just taken part in this year's
pilgrimage.  He explained the dire condition of the Gambian pilgrims in Mecca at present.

In simple terms, the Gambian pilgrims are stranded in Mecca. Their flight agents cannot tell them
when they will be returning home to their love ones. The only news they are getting is that
there is at current no flight arrangement in place to take them home.

The original flight company due to take them back have withdrawn from that arrangement
due to non payment. It is now going beyond five days since the first flight left for Banjul taking the
first batch of pilgrims. There is still a need for 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th flights in order to clear the remaining
stranded pilgrims.

However, due to the Christmass holidays in the west, the Gambian consulate in saudi is at currenttly facing difficulty 
in arranging for an alternative flight to return the remaining batches.

In the mean time, the pilgrims are being charged almost 200 Gambian Dalasis per day for their daily sustenance and they  have now been in Saudi for almost 40 days. As result of this prolonged period most pilgrims have no
money to afford their daily meals.

I have sent over £500 (2500 Saudi Dinar) to help my dad and few of his friends. But this is not enough and i can't help every one in there.

For that reason, i implore every one who can assist to help with whatever they can. You do not need to send money to me.
My best advice is that if you know someone in Saudi send the money directly to them through Western Union.

If you have a relative among the pilgrims and wants to contact them, please contact me on the number below and i will get a reliable someone who will assist you in locating them for you, so that you can speak to them and know their plight.

Those who can assist in arranging a flight company please get in touch with the Gambian consulate in Saudi, i don't know
their details as of yet. But i will try to get it.

Those who have influence in the Gambia government must urge the government to do something and do it urgently.

Please pass this message on and give every little help that we can.

Please note that you can get in touch with me on 07920404756.
