Al-Mayami: Respected Hazrat Maulana Abdus Sattar (may his blessings endure), Founding Director, Baitus Salam Welfare Trust, Karachi, Pakistan.As you are aware, there is an urgent need for at least 20,000 blankets for the stranded Pakistani (Muslim Bihari) community living in camps across the northern and southern regions of Bangladesh.For the past 55 years, members of this community have been living in extremely difficult conditions in various camps across Bangladesh. They lack access to basic necessities and the full enjoyment of their fundamental rights. Adequate privacy and personal space remain major concerns, particularly for women and children.We earnestly appeal to you to extend your support to these vulnerable and underprivileged people. The areas where our community resides include Rangpur, Saidpur, Khulna, Gilatala, Ishwardi, Jashore, Adamjinagar, Rajshahi and Gaibandha.In 2020, you and your esteemed organisation were among the very few to extend a helping hand by providing winter clothing to 10,000 families within our distressed community. We remain deeply grateful for your generous contribution, which will always be remembered with profound appreciation.As winter approaches once again, we look to you with renewed hope and confidence that you will come forward to support these impoverished families. The people living in these areas are extremely poor and lack the financial means to purchase warm clothing and blankets to protect their families from the bone-chilling cold.We therefore humbly request that you take the necessary steps to provide at least 20,000 blankets, along with winter clothing, for the needy families in these regions.Your organisation has consistently extended humanitarian assistance to vulnerable communities around the world, including those in Bosnia, Chechnya and Palestine, as well as the stranded Pakistani (Muslim Bihari) community in Bangladesh. We sincerely hope that you will once again respond to our appeal and help protect these disadvantaged people from the severe winter.We trust that you will stand beside these poor and helpless individuals, particularly orphans and widows, who are among the most vulnerable members of our community. Your timely assistance would bring much-needed relief and warmth to thousands of families during the harsh winter months.We sincerely hope you will give this urgent humanitarian appeal your kind consideration and take the necessary action at your earliest convenience.With profound respect and gratitude,Harun-ur-RashidExecutive DirectorHumanity in Distress (HID)
