UWT On The Ground Distributing Aid To Needy Syria Refugee Families
Mafraq, Jordan: 500 more emergency packs arrive on the Jordanian border to be distributed to Syrian refugee families. Alhamdulillah, donors in the UK have been donating in the way of Allah swt generously. UWT already have 4,000 more emergency packs on the way to help thousands more and a shipment of more than 35,000 aid packs coming soon after inshaa-Allah!
Above: Shaykh Muhammad (UWT Trustee) has travelled out too, to personally overlook the aid distribution and speak to Syrian refugee families regarding their needs.
Above: Mashaa-Allah, I was amazed how much had been packed into these emergency packs, the full list is as follows:
£100 can provide a family with an emergency food pack that will last for many weeks inshaAllah. Please donate at www.uwt.org
One pack contains:
|
• 10 kg Sugar • 10 kg Rice • 2.5 kg Red Lentils (Washed) • 2.5 kg Red Lentils (Whole) • 2.5 kg White Grams • 2 kg Dry Milk • Box of 100 Tea Bags |
• 2.0 kg High Energy Biscuits • 2.0 kg Salt • 12 bars of Bath Soap • 12 cakes of Washing Soap • 2 kg Washing Powder • 60 bags of Nappies • 16 packs of Sanitary Towels |
Above: On behalf of the Muslims of UK, a message of unity and brotherhood was given and that we feel the pain and suffering of our brothers and sisters in Syria. We ended with a simple message:
''Ayyuhal Muslimoon fee Sooriya, Nahnu Ma'akum'' - ''O Muslims of Syria, We are with you.''

Above: The widows of Syria who have lost their breadwinners have really suffered. In the absence of a husband who would normally provide them basics such as food for the whole family, these UWT aid packs are a lifeline - food and hygiene items which we often take for granted.

Above: A victim of the atrocities in Syria tells us his story of how he was held down by soldiers and beaten on his face continously with a rifle. His crime was only to serve as a medical assistant in a Syrian hospital.The left side of his face (not seen in picture above) was permanently marked.
Meeting The Widows Of Syria
Above: We heard from some widows of Syria of how their innocent family members were brutally murdered in the streets of Dimashq and Homs in Syria.
One widow, crying and praying to Allah (swt) for her husband's forgiveness, told us of how her husband left the home momentarily to buy some bread for her and her children. When returning home, he was mercilessly gunned down amongst other innocent Muslims and another family was left without a father and another one of our sisters was left widowed
Above: Whilst listening to our sister cry and plead for help, noone can hold back their tears.
This reminded us of the great eras of Islam when the likes of Umar (rad) made intentions to Allah (swt), not to let a single widow go without being provided for.
Alhamdulillah, Ummah Welfare Trust donated on behalf of the Muslims of UK towards these widows and intend to support thousands more widows and needy families of Syria like these.
Follow in the footsteps of the Prophet (saw) and the great Sahaaba (rad) by providing for the widows and orphans of Syria...
Spending Time With Orphans - Bringing Back Smiles Upon Their Faces
Above: Alhamdulillah, Allah swt gave us the opportunity to visit a local orphanage and bring back smiles to the faces of these young traumatised children by gifting them with small ride-on toys.
Above: Hamza, a young blind boy, who had just beautifully recited some Qur'aan for us, awaits his turn patiently.

A representative of the Syrian refugee families thanked Ummah Welfare Trust over and over again for coming to the aid of his people. He prayed to Allah swt from the bottom of his heart, to reward Ummah Welfare Trust and all its donors and support.
Aid Distribution For Syrian Refugee Families Commences
Above: The atrocities in Syria have been unbearable and have left thousands of Muslims in desperate need. Alhamdulillah as we have seen time and time again, the Muslims of the UK have come forth and are responding to the cries of the Muslims of Syria. Here, Adam bin Yusuf (A UWT representative from the UK), prepares to distribute much needed emergency packs to the Syrian refugee families.
