Italy: Muslims mobilise to help quake victims in northeast

Via AKI:
Muslims in Emilia Romagna have mobilised to help victims of the powerful earthquake that struck the northeastern region early on Sunday, killing at least seven people and leaving thousands homeless.

"Some 10,000 Muslims have been affected by the earthquake that hit Emilia Romagna, and last night we managed to set up a field camp of tents which can each accommodate 150 people," the president of the Italian Islamic Confederation, Wahid al-Fihri, told Adnkronos International.

"We have helped 500 people in Cento di Ferrara alone," he said.
