FIMA GLOBAL RELIEF In March 1994, Dr. Ozejr Skaka, from Merhama Society-Bosnia, and later on, a founder of Bosnia IMA, visited Jordan for several weeks, where around 100,000 USD were collected by Jordan IMA, Islamic Hospital and concerned collaborators, to support relief efforts in Bosnia. Following the Paris FIMA Convention, relief activities escalated and became more productive. Thirty six physicians were sponsored in Sarajevo alone. From December 1995 to April 1996, the medical staff at Bihac Hospital received DM 35,000 in salaries from ARABMED and IMA-Malaysia, with medical supplies. Parallel to this effort, the IMA of Egypt, working through the Cairo-based Arab Medical Union (AMU), and the Relief Committee of the Egyptian Medical Association, chaired by Dr. Abdul Qadir Hijazi, a previous FIMA president, provided medicines, consumables, tents, food supplies, clothes and salaries to Bosnian doctors in excess of 2.2 million DM. IMA-Malaysia and Mercy Malaysia deployed medical teams, medical supplies and consumables prior and after the cessation of hostilities. IMA South Africa (IMASA) collaborated with Waqful Waqifin Foundation in provision of relief materials. This Foundation was able to send an equipped mobile hospital, which was stationed in the besieged city of Mostar. It, unfortunately, was bombarded by Serbs. Two of its caravans were destroyed, but the rest were functional. From another FIMA perspective, the new Bosnia IMA was established and joined FIMA as a full member. Kosovo Relief 1999: Kosovo is located in the core of Balkan. With a population of 2 millions, the original inhabitants were of Albanian descent. The region fell under Serb domination in the 12 th century. In 1389, the Ottomans defeated the Serbs and dominated the country. 6 Kosovo people embraced Islam. After the Balkan war in 1912-1913, Serbs found their chance to control Kosovo again. Following the London Conference in 1913, the territories inhabited by the Albanian people were subdivided into two parts. One was Albania, and the other was Kosovo, which was dominated by the Serbs. 7 Since then, the Serbs applied a policy of ethnic cleansing and land appropriation, in a policy to establish Greator Serbia. Many Kosovans were forced to migrate to Albania, Turkey and other parts of the world. 7 The Kosovan refugee crisis started in early 1999, when kosovans waged campaigns demanding their human and national rights, and the Serb authorities reacted with extreme and harsh measures. Relief after the War: Following the Dayton Peace Accord on November 30,2002, more than 919,000 Bosnian refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) returned homes 5,6 . Seventy four percent of whom returned to the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. While the rest returned to Serb Republic. Nearly half a million people were still outside Bosnia and Herzegovina. Relief work, since then, took new and different avenues. Kosovo in the core of Balkan FIMA YearBook 2010-2011 14
FIMA GLOBAL RELIEF • In early May 1999, the first Malaysian medical team arrived to Albania, in collaboration between IMA-Malaysia (IMAM) and Mercy Malaysia. They provided medical care and supplies to refugees in camps. • IMA-North America (IMANA), through its Red Crescent Committee, chaired by Dr. Shahid Siddiqui, provided medical care, established mobile medical teams, and purchased a new, well equipped ambulance. The team was able to care for 250-350 patients daily. IMANA also established a central pharmacy, and a rotating physician system, for better coverage. Many Kosovans were forced to flee their homes in successive waves. Tens of thousands, shocked, desperate and exhausted, arrived at Northern Albania, the poorest districts of Albania, deprived of health facilities, with poor hygienic conditions. Moreover, this snow-covered mountainous area had poor road systems, and difficult access. Although the Albanian government’s response was too little, too late, the local people received the deprived, impoverished immigrants generously, within the limitations of their original poverty. As the human suffering escalated, the Albanian government declared a state of emergency and called for international help. The first FIMA member organization to respond was ARABMED of Europe. FIMA requested its member IMAs to channel their help through ARABMED, as much as possible. • ARABMED: Deployed medical teams, medical supplies and consumables to refugee camps. One team was led by ARABMED president, Dr. Hassan Najjar, functioned in refugee camps in Tirana and Kukes areas, with support to local Albanian medical professionals to enable them to better serve refugees. • Pakistan IMA (PIMA) started by a media campaign in Pakistan to collect donations, under a slogan of “Kosovo Relief Mission”, and then dispatched 4 successive medical teams, that functioned in a successive complementary manner. The first team arrived to Albania through Italy and Turkey, in May 1999, with participation of experienced medical professionals, including university professors. This first mission was led by Prof. Mohammad Tariq, in cooperation with The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA-USA), provided medical care to refugee camps, and supplied 50,000 USD worth of medical supplies. Doctors spent 2 weeks, but one PIMA volunteer, Dr. Initiaz Ali, spent 5 weeks to guarantee continuity until the second team arrived on June 7 th , 1999, that reached Albania through Turkey, led by Dr. Amir Aziz. • IMA-Saudi Arabia (IMAKSA), in collaboration with Saudi relief NGOs, dispatched teams, established 10 equipped medical clinics and established a 50 bed hospital in Albania. • Hayat Foundation-Turkey, on nearly continuous basis, provided 15 doctors and FIMA YearBook 2010-2011 15
