Eid in Syria

Published June 24, 2017

I WOULD like to draw attention to the endless sufferings of our Muslim brothers and sisters in Syria and Palestine.

The holy month of Ramazan is coming to an end, and all Muslims are looking forward to celebrating Eid, but we must not ignore the pain and anguish our Muslim brothers and sisters in Syria and Palestine are going through. Being Muslim it is our responsibility to care for their suffering and loss.

We must remember them and donate whatever we can to organisations trying to provide food and shelter to them.
