FIMA GLOBAL RELIEF Afghan Relief 2001: Following the September 11,2001 incident, a major USA-led western onslaught was waged against Afghanistan during October 2001, which resulted in over 12,000 deaths, more than 32,000 individuals with serious injuries and more than one million displaced Afghanis. Acute, wide scale influx of crouds of impoverished Afghani refugees poured into Pakistan, most of whom were locked in border areas between the two countries. More victims wandered around with increasing numbers of casualties and sick, hungry civilians inside and outside Afghanistan, a situation that deteriorated into a major humanitarian disaster. Since the early days of the crisis, FIMA, pioneered by the IMA of Pakistan (PIMA), organized a medical humanitarian campaign. Constructive collaboration was established among various IMAs and other Islamic relief NGOs, with relief teams dispatchment, monetary and material donations. Prof. Hafeez Ur Rahman, FIMA Relief Coordinator, led a Needs Assessment delegation to the troubled border areas. PIMA received medical teams at Pakistan airports, housed them and distributed them to hospitals, clinics and mobile units functional at the Pakistan- Afghan border, in refugee camps, or even in Afghani cities, Kabul, Kandahar, Jalalabad, Spin Boldak and others, where medical care, surgical procedures, and medical supplies were provided. (DWW), Mercy Malaysia and other NGOs, and established plans for relief work. PIMA, supported by FIMA-member IMAs and other Islamic relief NGOs, established and operated many medical centers, mobile clinics, in addition to the hospitals in Quetta, Peshawar and other cities. In Chaman, at the Pakistan side of borders, PIMA established a central facility capable of hosting tens of medical professionals, to facilitate organized distribution of teams, with communication and transport facilities. PIMA relief base compound at Chaman (one km from the border), included well organized teams of (25-30) doctors/paramedics, a large warehouse for medical supplies and 3 ambulances. A new basic hospital capable of performing emergency surgeries was established. In Spin Boldak, another border town, Drs Tanveer Zubairi, Ata Ur Rehman, Arshad Waheed and Sakib Ansari spearheaded an early assessment task, with participants from Doctors World Wide PIMA and other FIMA collaborating NGOs at the Pakistan- Afghan borders FIMA YearBook 2010-2011 18
FIMA GLOBAL RELIEF At least 29 relief organizations and IMAs, (especially from Malaysia, Indonesia and South Africa), collaborated with PIMA, to make this combined relief undertaking one of the most extensive, productive, organized, recognized and respected by neighboring governments, as well as international organizations. At any one time, more than 50 volunteering medical professionals and 70 supporting personnel were functional in hospitals, health center and mobile clinics. IMAs and relief NGOs from outside Pakistan dispatched 57 medical-surgical missions comprising of more than 350 doctors/nurses/paramedics, volunteering to work in these medical facilities. A cataract surgery program was undertaken in collaboration with The World Health organization-Eastern Mediterranean Region (WHO-EMRO). Five PIMA ophthalmologists participated. This humanitarian crisis continued for a long time following the September 11 incident, with continuous needs for relief that took different forms. Iraq Relief 2003: Following Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990, and the Western armed response that expelled Iraqi military from Kuwait in 1991, a siege was imposed on Iraq. Since then, a complex prolonged humanitarian crisis gradually developed. Initially, crowds of refugees left Kuwait by land, through Iraq and settled in Jordan side of the Iraqi- Jordan border. They left behind their entire livelihood. From various nationalities, many of them without money or identity documents, were in dire need for relief work. The Islamic Hospital-Jordan (FIMA member) and other relief NGOs in Jordan, shouldered the brunt of relief efforts which included provision of food and medical care, for several months until refugees and their governments, together with international efforts, gradually resolved this humanitarian problem. In 2003, after 12 years of siege on Iraq, the US and allied forces bombarded Iraqi cities, and subsequently invaded the country and demolished its regime. A major humanitarian crisis emerged inside Iraq which necessitated relief assistance to a people suddenly deprived of their health care system as well as their means of day to day living. 10 Several FIMA member IMAs, and Islamic relief NGOs, hastily organized relief missions to Iraqi cities, in collaboration and logistics facilitation by IMA- Jordan and the Islamic Hospital in Jordan. This was one of the relief endeavors in which volunteering Muslim relief workers were shot at, killed or injured in the course of their duties. Dr. Jamilah Mahmoud, team leader and Mercy Malaysia (MM) president, arrived in Baghdad by land through Jordan, accompanied by medical professionals from (MM) and IMA-Malaysia (IMAM). As Dr. Jeffery Abu-Hassan, IMAM secretary, described the incident, the relief team was subjected to a tragic event on April 12,2003, being caught in crossfire while they were exiting from a Baghdad children hospital, using a Red Crescent emblazoned car, amidst chaos and panic. The local translator, and the pharmacist were killed. Dr. Jamilah and Dr. Baba were injured, received first aid in Baghdad, transferred to Jordan Islamic Hospital where their condition was stabilized, then FIMA YearBook 2010-2011 19
