Young Turks used
every means possible to take care of needs of Rohingya people settled in
various parts of Melbourne
Turkish youth in
Australian province Melbourne embraced the Rohingya Muslims who fled the
humanity tragedy in Myanmar.
A group of 20 young
Turks used every means possible to take care of the needs of Rohingya people
settled in various parts of the city including providing food, clothing,
furniture and money.
Apart from all the
initiatives to collect money, the group hosted a fast breaking meal and charity
night where they called on families to foster for a Rohingya family.
Adem Temel, organizer
of the charity group, drew a similarity between Rohingya Muslims and the
migration or journey of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and his followers from
Mecca to Medina, adding that they should act like the Ansar,
"helpers" and embrace the displaced Rohingyans.
Nur Alum, a Rohinya
Muslim who has fled the violence in Myanmar, said the situation was still
horrific and he was in prison for seven years just to attempt to travel to the
capital as a university student.
Hoping the violence
would end soon, Alum said he witnessed killing, burning and raping of Muslims.
