HELP NEEDED URGENTLY - Java Earthquake (Indonesia)
Thousands of people have been killed and injured after a powerful earthquake struck the Yogyakarta province of Indonesian at 5:52am on Saturday 27th May 2006.
The quake, measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale, destroyed hundreds of houses and buildings and brought down electricity and water supplies in one of Indonesiaأ¢â‚¬â„¢s biggest cities. Over 5000 people have fled their homes fearing another tsunami.
Inadequate Medical Treatment
With reports of over 2,900 people injured, the health care system in the affected area has been overwhelmed with inadequate facilities and resources to treat the injured. Damaged water and electricity supplies in Yogyakarta will greatly increase threat of disease of not restored quickly.
Volcano Threat
In the northern part of Yogyakarta, Mount Merapi threw off hot clouds of smoke and ash shortly after the tremor. Although the earthquake is not thought to have been caused by the volcano, Mount Merapiأ¢â‚¬â„¢s increased volcanic activity is being closely monitored by scientists and Indonesian authorities.
Needs
Immediate needs for the victims are water, food, hygiene kits and temporary shelter.
Islamic Relief Response
Islamic Relief already has operations on the capital of Indonesia, Jakarta and offices in the nearby Banten province. Islamic Relief has already began distributing blankets, portable water, food and hygiene kits and is co-ordinating efforts with international and national agencies in the area.
With an initial allocation of أ‚آ£500,000 of emergency aid, Islamic Relief is appealing for أ‚آ£2,000,000 for the victims of this disaster.

أ¢â‚¬إ“O you who believe! Spend of that with which We have provided for you, before a Day comes when there will be no bargaining, nor friendship, nor intercession. And it is the disbelievers who are the Wrongdoers.أ¢â‚¬? [al-Baqarah 2:254]
أ¢â‚¬إ“O you who believe! Spend of the good things which you have (legally) earned, and of that which We have produced from the earth for you, and do not aim at that which is bad to spend from it, (though) you would not accept it save if you close your eyes and tolerate therein. And know that Allأƒآ¢h is Rich (Free of all needs), and Worthy of all praise.أ¢â‚¬? [al-Baqarah 2:267]
أ¢â‚¬إ“Believe in Allأƒآ¢h and His Messenger, and spend of that whereof He has made you trustees. And such of you as believe and spend (in Allأƒآ¢hأ¢â‚¬â„¢s way), theirs will be a great reward.أ¢â‚¬? [al-Hadeed 57:7]
