Makkah, July 17, SPA – The Muslim World League (MWL) has appealed to relief organizations and Islamic Charities to provide quick aid to the Lebanese people. MWL Secretary General Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulmuhsen Al-Turki has hailed the humanitarian initiative of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz who donated $ 50 million as an urgent relief assistance to Lebanon, calling on the Islamic countries to support and assist the Lebanese people. Dr. Al-Turki said that Lebanon is experiencing critical circumstances because Israel is smashing down its vital facilities and destroying its infrastructure all over Lebanon, affirming that the Lebanese people have become "desperate and terrified," because of Israel’s continuing terror-attacks and ’brutal and inhuman’ military offensive. He added that the MWL which represents Islamic peoples, organizations and minorities condemns the Israel’s malicious crimes against Lebanon. Dr. Al-Turki also urged Islamic peoples and governments to ease the sufferings of the Lebanese people; and to cooperate with the international community to stop the Israeli cruel offensives and siege and to restore peace and security.--SPA 17/07/2006 13:48 ت م www.spa.gov.sa/376140
