My heart goes out to the people who are suffering in this very difficult moment. Allah knows that this is the last thing they need in addition to the already difficult circumstnaces of these days. Please, everyone, find someone you trust back home, and send them what you can as a way to help. One can even make a contribution to international organizations like Catholic charities etc. and have it designated specifically.May Allah bring ease and comfort to these folks.Herein is a lesson to remind us that a well organized and caring government does set aside resources for emergencies.
