At first glance you might think this mother has
just put her baby to sleep…
….in fact she is bidding a final farewell to her
flower
In Bam, there are many such
mothers….
And fathers too…
It is estimated that 15,000
more may still be under the
rubble
33,000 bodies have been
buried
The earthquake struck the city at Fajr time.
Some of the deceased were found in Sajda or with Qur’an, Tasbeeh in their
hands.
It lasted for about 12
seconds; three times longer than
most earthquakes
and brought about wide scale
destruction to one of the oldest cities
entire neighbourhoods were flattened
Almost 80% of the buildings in Bam were destroyed
…………..many neighbourhoods
It generated $400,000 a month in tourism, before the earthquake
CITADEL -The world renowned 2000 year old historical trading town.
Even new Buildings were not spared
More than 50 mosques & 30 Centres damaged
70 year old Hawza (Jamiatuz Zahra)for Ladies totally destroyed
Robbed of their houses the people now seek shelter in tents

Action Taken• Immediate: Condolence letters & relief aid of over
US$80,000.
• Assessment Team: Fact finding visit to analyse needs. Output is this presentation and a more detailed report available on the World Federation website.
• Short-term: Semi-permanent structures to be used as multi purpose Centres. Most of the centres were destroyed & with the advent of Muharram, coupled with the fact that this unique need could not be addressed by the International relief agencies.
• Mid-term projects: Permanent Imambaras & Hawza.
Recommendation: Short term Needs
• 14 semi-permanent multi purpose centres to be used for Azadari, Masjid, Hawza, etc.
Costing US$125,000.
• All weather
• Will be in use for atleast 2 years whilst re-construction of all Centres is completed
• 50% of the cost i.e. all ‘white goods’ will be transferred to new Centres & the Structures
re-used in subsequent Muharams.
14 Centers Delivered in time
Land being cleared
Steel frame erected
Completed Structure
Ashura in Bam; Muharram 1425
Recommendation: Mid term
Final phase to provide permanent structures to replace the damaged/destroyed religious Centres as follows
• Mosque US$140,000• Imambara/Religious Centre
USS200,000• Hawza US$120,000
This is a unique need as only Communities like ours can understand and address the plight of our brothers in faith.
