Muslim Aid Help Surrey Flood Victims

Though badly affecting Surrey and Middlesex, Thames floods this year have uncovered a unique unity between Surrey’s faiths after a group of Muslim volunteers from Muslim Aid joined hands with flood volunteer group from the southern English city, offering help to the affected citizens.

“We started off visiting Somerset and Staines, which is how we got in touch with the Sunbury group,” Ahmad Teladia, a volunteer officer at Muslim Aid, told Get Surrey on Thursday, March 27.

“We didn’t just provide volunteers but also resources such as brooms, jet washers and things to help with the clean-up to make as big an impact as possible.”

Surrey and Middlesex came under Thames floods earlier in February; the flooding deemed the most severe in the area since March 1947.

As relief efforts continue, a group of 25 members of Muslim Aid joined members of the Sunbury flood volunteer group to offer help to the affected citizens.

With clean-up events held the past two weekends, the British Muslim relief agency brought a team to help out and will remain with the group for the next three weeks.

“The next three weeks we are down to continue with the help in Sunbury, then it will be put to review whether we should stay on,” Teladia said.

“Going to Sunbury was a massive eye-opener, especially getting to see first-hand the impact of the floods and all the debris that is still around.

“We had a great time though and absolutely loved it,” he said.

Britain is home to a Muslim community of nearly 2.7 million.

In 2011, think tank Demo found that Muslims in the United Kingdom are more patriotic than the rest of population.

Responding to the statement “I am proud to be a British citizen”, 83% of Muslims said they are proud of being British.
