GAZIANTEP, TURKIYE February 20, 2023 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently distributed 430 heaters and firewood along with hot meals to families displaced by two powerful earthquakes that hit Turkiye and northern Syria early last week.

The distribution took place in Islahiya, Turkiye, one of the hard-hit towns in the province of Gaziantep. Most of the population is now living in tents away from cordoned-off areas full of damaged buildings and piles of rubble. Many were burning scraps to keep themselves warm in subzero temperatures, so the provision of heaters and firewood helps alleviate the cold and risk of unsafe heating methods.

Author and activist Linda Sarsour joined the Baitulmaal team on the ground in Turkiye and northern Syria, visiting with survivors, distributing aid, touring donor-funded schools, and bearing witness to the devastation of the quakes.

In an interview with TRTWorld, a Turkish public broadcast service, Sarsour called for sustainable solidarity.

“It’s not just one donation, these are people living in tents and have no idea when they’ll be able to live in permanent housing.” Sarsour said. “So the question is, will our solidarity be for one day? Is it temporary? Or are we going to stand with these people until they get back on their feet?”

One day after Sarsour returned to the United States, another powerful 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck in Hatay, where Baitulmaal staff had just finished distributing 1,000 hot meals to survivors in Hatay and Gaziantep minutes before the ground shook. They are currently on the ground in the affected areas assessing the situation to mobilize more aid.

Sarsour is encouraging people to continue to support the efforts of humanitarian nonprofits like Baitulmaal as they rush to provide life-saving aid to those impacted by ongoing earthquakes in Turkiye and northern Syria.

Baitulmaal has been on the ground in Turkiye and northern Syria mobilizing aid to affected areas. The charity dispatched a $5.35M shipment of medical supplies which began to arrive in Kahramanmaraş, Turkiye as early as Tuesday of last week. Baitulmaal has also been regularly distributing hot meals, blankets, clothing, and shoes to displaced families and orphans. The charity is preparing to provide temporary shelters, run ambulance services and operate medical tents in the coming days.

Baitulmaal is an international humanitarian aid organization that provides life-saving, life-sustaining and life-enriching aid to people in need around the world. With headquarters in Texas, the charity has domestic offices in California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan and New Jersey as well as international offices in Africa, South Asia and the Middle East.

SANLIURFA, TURKIYE February 16, 2023 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently distributed food, blankets, thermal clothing and shoes to 100 orphans and their families displaced by a series of earthquakes that hit Turkiye early last week.

The distribution took place in Sanliurfa, a Turkish city that hosts tens of thousands of Syrian refugees. Food and clothing were distributed at the Bangash Center in Sanliurfa, while blankets were delivered directly to families living in temporary shelters in the Bazar camps.

Researcher and author Dalia Mogahed joined the Baitulmaal team on the ground in Turkiye and witnessed first-hand the toll these quakes have had on residents in the area, including local humanitarian aid workers.

“The stories I heard, the resilience I saw, truly humbled me,” Mogahed said. “From the head of the relief workers who has been living in his car with his family for the past eight days while undertaking aid efforts, to the refugee woman who lost four of her adult children in the quakes and is now caring for all of her orphaned grandchildren. These are wounded healers who exemplify compassion – and who need it from us.”

Having escaped war in Syria, many Syrian families sought refuge in the ancient Turkish city of Sanliurfa – where 1 in every 4 residents is a refugee – only to be displaced once again by the deadliest earthquake in a generation. As of February 15, 2023, more than 41,000 people have perished in the quakes. Thousands of children are now orphaned, and millions of families are displaced across both countries.

Mogahed is encouraging people to support the efforts of humanitarian nonprofits like Baitulmaal as they rush to provide life-saving aid to those impacted by the earthquakes in Turkiye and Syria as well as secure donor sponsorship of orphaned children. 

Baitulmaal has been on the ground in Turkiye and northern Syria mobilizing aid to affected areas. The charity dispatched a $5.35M shipment of medical supplies which began to arrive in Kahramanmaraş, Turkiye as early as Tuesday of last week. Baitulmaal has also been regularly distributing hot meals and blankets in Sanliurfa and in Jindires in northern Syria. The charity is preparing to provide winter relief kits, run ambulance services and operate medical tents in the coming days.

GAZIANTEP, TURKIYE February 09, 2023 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently delivered the first two of seventeen medical supply containers valued at $5.35M to earthquake-ravaged Turkiye and Syria earlier this week, in addition to food, water and other aid to victims of the quakes.

The initial shipment arrived in Kahramanmaraş, Turkiye and included 200 hospital beds that will be used to support doctors and nurses treating the critically injured in the wake of the disaster. According to Elizabeth Sohail, program manager at Baitulmaal, subsequent shipments will include essential items such as medical equipment, medical devices and triage supplies.

“The scale of this disaster is immense,” Sohail said. “But so is the compassion of donors who have rallied to support the victims of these devastating earthquakes.”

In the early hours of February 6, 2023, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck in the southern Turkish province of Kahramanmaraş. A 7.5 magnitude quake hit a few hours later, followed by numerous significant aftershocks. As of Thursday, more than 20,000 people were killed across southern Turkiye and northern Syria, with thousands more injured, missing or displaced.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 23 million people across Syria and Turkiye are likely to face the threat of a “secondary disaster” if aid does not reach them soon.

Baitulmaal has been on the ground in Turkiye and northern Syria mobilizing aid to affected areas. In addition to the $5.35M in medical supplies, Baitulmaal distributed 3,000 hot meals in Sanliurfa, Turkiye and another 5,000 hot meals in Jindires in northern Syria. It also distributed blankets to shield displaced families from the cold. The charity is preparing to provide winter relief kits, run ambulance services and operate medical tents, among other aid.

Baitulmaal regularly works in the region delivering humanitarian aid. In addition to food and winter relief, Baitulmaal also supports Uyghur and Syrian refugees in Turkiye, oversees hundreds of donor-sponsored orphans in both countries, and has reconstructed 4 schools, including a large vocational school in Ras Al-Ayn, Syria.

Baitulmaal is an international humanitarian aid organization that provides life-saving, life-sustaining and life-enriching aid to people in need around the world. With headquarters in Texas, the charity has domestic offices in California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan and New Jersey as well as international offices in Africa, South Asia and the Middle East.

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN September 15, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently delivered emergency food and hygiene kits to 4,070 Afghans impacted by destructive floods in the Logar province of Afghanistan.

Approximately 370 families received aid provisions such as rice, flour, cooking oil and soap. The majority of recipients were women-headed households or families with disabled, injured, elderly or otherwise vulnerable members. Many of the families lost their homes due to heavy floods and suffered the loss of family members, livestock, crops, shops or cars.

The floods came at a time when families in Afghanistan were already strained by economic, social and political upheavals, according to Baitulmaal’s program manager, Elizabeth Sohail.

“Families were trying to do their best in such difficult times, but heavy rains washed away what little they had,” Sohail said. “We are grateful to be able to step in and help them get on firmer ground with the necessities they need to keep hunger and disease at bay.”

Afghans are being hit with multiple challenges. Climate change is causing devastating weather emergencies that disrupt access to food, clean water and shelter. In addition to deadly floods, Afghanistan was rocked by an earthquake in June that killed more than 1,000 people. 

The war in Ukraine has also impacted food supplies. According to the World Food Programme, food prices in Afghanistan have risen nearly 40 percent over the last eight months. Human Rights Watch has also reported that 13,000 newborns have died from malnutrition and hunger-related diseases in Afghanistan since January, and 3.5 million children need nutritional support. 

In addition to providing food and other aid, Baitulmaal has worked with the Afghan-American-founded Education and Occupation Committee (EOC) to evacuate Afghans and implement economic development projects. If you would like to learn more about or contribute to Baitulmaal’s efforts in Afghanistan, please visit their website at johnjanney.org/.

Baitulmaal is an international humanitarian aid organization that provides life-saving, life-sustaining and life-enriching aid to people in need around the world. With headquarters in Dallas, Texas, the charity has offices and representatives in: Los Angeles, California; Chicago, Illinois; Detroit, Michigan; Nairobi, Kenya; Mogadishu, Somalia; Amman and Al Ramtha, Jordan; and Karachi, Pakistan.

GAZA, PALESTINE September 6, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently delivered emergency food, hygiene kits, household and bedding supplies to approximately 1,024 Palestinians impacted by the assault on Gaza earlier this summer.

In addition to non-perishable food packages that contained items such as rice, pasta and canned goods, 160 families received two cooked meals a day for three days as well as bags of fresh bread. They were also provided mattresses, blankets, pillows, bathroom and other basic supplies. According to Elizabeth Sohail, program manager at Baitulmaal, many families lost everything they had after missiles struck their homes.

“Children were playing in the streets one moment and lost everything in the next,” Sohail said. “It will take months to rebuild their lives, and providing them basic necessities can help alleviate their suffering as well as let them know they have our compassion.”

Between August 5 and 7, 2022, 49 Palestinians were killed by missile attacks on Gaza, including 17 children, according to the Gaza health ministry.  Hundreds of Palestinians were wounded and hundreds more were internally displaced. This attack was the largest since the May 2021 bombardment of Gaza that left more than 250 dead, including 66 children.

In addition to the threat of attacks, Gazans face routine power outages, limited water access, food insecurity and poverty due in large part to an ongoing blockade. According to the UN, more than 75 percent of Gazans rely on humanitarian aid.

Baitulmaal provides food, clothing, education support, seasonal giving, emergency aid and healthcare in Palestine. The charity also operates 400 water tanks in Gaza . If you would like to learn more about or contribute to Baitulmaal’s efforts in Palestine, please visit their website at johnjanney.org/.

KARACHI, PAKISTAN August 26, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently delivered emergency food and water to 520 families impacted by severe flooding in Pakistan.

Families living in the hard-hit Sindh province as well as in Balochistan received emergency assistance. Clean water, cooked meals and food parcels containing items such as flour, rice and lentils were distributed to affected families.

Many families continue to be displaced from their homes due to the massive floods, according to Elizabeth Sohail, program manager at Baitulmaal, an international humanitarian nonprofit who has been responding to the floods since July.

“So many families are surrounded by knee-deep water,” Sohail said. “Our teams are making sure they are safe and have enough food and water to sustain them. But the flooding continues and many more families are in need.”

According to the United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), more than 2.3 million people in Pakistan have been affected by heavy rains and flooding since mid-June. The death toll continues to rise, with at least 900 fatalities so far. Thousands of homes have been destroyed, crops have been flooded, livestock has perished and damage to roads have impacted services as well as aid efforts.

Baitulmaal is on the ground in Pakistan continuing to help affected families, with another phase of relief efforts underway. To contribute to emergency flood relief efforts, visit johnjanney.org/.

Baitulmaal is an international humanitarian aid organization that provides life-saving, life-sustaining and life-enriching aid to people in need around the world. With headquarters in Texas, the charity has domestic offices and representatives in California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan and New Jersey as well as international offices in Africa, South Asia and the Middle East.

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN July 11, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently delivered emergency aid to 4,125 earthquake survivors in Afghanistan earlier this month.

Approximately 550 families in the Paktika province received food parcels which included flour, rice, cooking oil, milk, tea, sugar, and washing soap. Many of the people affected included women, children, disabled people, and impoverished families, according to Elizabeth Sohail, program development manager at Baitulmaal.

“Families in the earthquake zone have lost family members, homes, belongings,” Sohail said. “Providing humanitarian assistance is of utmost importance for the well-being and survival of families affected.”

On June 22, a 5.9 magnitude earthquake struck the eastern region of Afghanistan impacting the Paktika province. The earthquake – which was recorded at a depth of 10 km – was reportedly felt in neighboring provinces including Kabul, as well as in Islamabad, Pakistan and India.

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN March 28, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently delivered emergency aid to 2,625 earthquake survivors in Afghanistan earlier this month.

Approximately 350 families in the Badghis province received  food parcels which included flour, rice, cooking oil, and washing soap. The beneficiaries included 190 orphans, 62 widows, and many impoverished families according to Elizabeth Sohail, program development manager at Baitulmaal.

“The residents of this province are struggling to access food and safe drinking-water,” Sohail said. “Humanitarian support for the survival of earthquake-affected families, particularly children and women, is very crucial as they are in dire need.”

On January 27, a 5.0 magnitude earthquake struck the northwest region of Afghanistan impacting the Badghis province. The earthquake struck at a time when the people of the Badghis province are struggling to cope with the shocks and stresses of a deepening humanitarian crisis, droughts, violence and most recently, the freezing winters.

According to findings by the United Nations (OCHA), the earthquake in northwestern Afghanistan destroyed more than 1,000 homes.

Baitulmaal has been on the ground in Afghanistan mobilizing aid to affected areas. In addition to delivering emergency aid after earthquakes and floods, Baitulmaal provides food, winter supplies and income generation projects.

$2M Emergency Medical Shipment to Aid Ukrainian Refugees

DALLAS, TEXAS, March 9, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, is preparing to ship medical aid valued at $2 million USD to provide lifesaving humanitarian assistance to Ukrainian refugees fleeing the recent Russian invasion.

The shipment, which contains emergency medical equipment and triage supplies, will arrive in Moldova within the next two weeks, according to Baitulmaal program manager Elizabeth Sohail. Ensuring the health and safety of Ukrainian refugees is a matter of high concern for the charity as the situation continues to evolve.

“Many of these families scrambled to leave a frightening situation and urgently need medical assistance,” Sohail said. “Sending medical aid now will help provide lifesaving assistance before the situation gets worse.”

According to the UN, an estimated 1 million people fled Ukraine in the span of one week. Many have sought refuge in neighboring countries such as Poland, Hungary and Moldova. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has killed more than 400 people and injured over 800 so far, and the situation continues to deteriorate.

To help with emergency aid efforts for Ukrainian refugees, donors can contribute to the Baitulmaal Ukraine Emergency fund at https://johnjanney.org/help4ukraine.

Baitulmaal is an international humanitarian nonprofit that provides life-saving, life-sustaining and life-enriching aid to people in need around the world.

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN, January 10, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian relief agency, recently distributed winter aid to more than 400 impoverished families in Afghanistan ahead of the winter season.

Food and non-food items such as blankets, clothing, shoes, firewood, charcoal and soap were distributed to approximately 3,200 displaced and poor Afghans in Kabul. A majority of the recipients were women and children. 

According to Elizabeth Sohail, program manager at Baitulmaal, these families have been impacted by the recent unrest in Afghanistan and are attempting to reintegrate into their communities amid the instability.

“Many families returned to their homes but are struggling to keep warm and buy food,” Sohail said. “Staples such as rice, cooking oil and firewood are blessings during these difficult times.”

A recent UN report estimates that 98 percent of the Afghan population will be living in poverty by the middle of 2022, up from a current poverty rate of 72 percent. Approximately 23 million Afghans are facing extreme levels of hunger, with nearly nine million at risk of famine this year.

In addition to providing food and other aid, Baitulmaal has been working with the Afghan-American-founded Education and Occupation Committee (EOC) to evacuate Afghans and implement economic development projects.
