Most recently the Jamiatul Ulama South Africa Council of Muslims has committed over $550 million in aid to support Kimse Yok Mu’s international effort to reach out to the vast number of Syrian refugees who struggle to survive through winter in Turkey, after being displaced from their home country amidst years of conflict. The efforts have also been added to by the Singapore based As Siddiq, along with Simply İslam, the Arab Network, Nagshibandi Singapore, AMD, Qiswah.
A key point of Kimse Yok Mu’s international aid efforts continues to be Palestine, which has been given a boost with a $203,000 aid package donated from the Rehmet Lil Alemin organization in Singapore.

The Turkish government recently unjustly removed the organization’s right to receive donations without a permit. Kimse Yok Mu, a UN partner in aid, has passed regularly passed all audits with flying colors.

You are only coming through in waves.” I think these words reveal what is going on in the “new Turkey” under the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) government.
