Migration a God-given right, says IIROSA chief
JEDDAH: The International Islamic Relief Organization of Saudi Arabia (IIROSA) will continue its support and humanitarian assistance to the refugees, the displaced and migrants, said its Secretary-General Adnan Khalil Basha in press statements on the occasion of the International Day of Migrants on Sunday.
IIROSA has extended support and assistance to more than 22 million refugees and displaced people in 42 countries. The organization provided tents, covers, foodstuffs, medicines and other relief material, Basha said.
The United Nations has observed the International Day of Migrants since the year 2000. Basha hailed the occasion and urged relief and humanitarian organizations in particular to extend a helping hand to migrants. “Regardless of its causes or factors, migration is a God-given right to all human beings,” he said, recalling the Qur’anic verse: “Was the land of God not spacious enough to migrate in.”
Basha noted that migration has become a growing phenomenon in the world. Either by choice, in search of better living conditions or due to wars, conflicts and religious, racial or political oppression. He called for enhancing international cooperation to organize and legalize migration and to extend humanitarian assistance and relief help to the migrants, the refugees and the displaced.
