AMERICAN MUSLIMS ASKED TO ASSIST EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS IN TURKEY
(WASHINGTON, D.C., 8/18/99) - A number of American Muslims of Turkish
descent today announced the formation of an organization designed to assist
victims of Tuesday's massive earthquake in Turkey.
The group, called the Turkish Relief Association (TRA), established a
toll-free number (1-877-TURKEY9, or 1-877-887-5399) that people of all
faiths may call to offer assistance. TRA will coordinate its efforts with
the Humanitarian Aid Foundation in Turkey.
Those interested in helping quake victims may call the toll-free number,
e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] or send donations to TRA, 1657 Deer Park Avenue,
Deer Park, NY, 11729.
"Muslims around the world have a duty to help their brothers and sisters
suffering in Turkey. American Muslims will do their part," said CAIR
Executive Director Nihad Awad.
Other existing American Muslim relief organizations say they will also offer
assistance. The Holy Land Foundation pledged $100,000 for the relief effort.
Life for Relief and Development officials say they will work with a sister
agency in Turkey to send emergency funding.
Other American Muslim relief groups include Mercy International USA, Islamic
African Relief Agency, Success Foundation, and Global Relief Foundation.

Turkey's Anatolian New Agency put the death toll resulting from the quake at
more than 3,400. The quake measured 7.4 on the Richter scale and was
centered on the northwestern industrial city of Izmit, some 90 km (55 miles)
east of Turkey's largest city, Istanbul. The agency said more than 16,000
people were injured.
