Makkah Mosque in Hyde Park is leading calls to support flood victims in Pakistan

Special prayers are being held at a Leeds mosque for those suffering in the Pakistan floods - and people are being urged to donate as much as they can to provide relief to those who have suffered as a result of disaster.

Imam of Makkah Masjid Mosque in Hyde Park, Qari Asim, said:

"The significant loss of lives, and infrastructure in Pakistan, following the recent floods is deeply saddening. Everyone is urged to show support for this humanitarian issue."

The full story can be found over at Makkah Mosque's website here. There's a news story on the floods over at The Guardian, while details of the appeal can be found here.

More than three million people have been affected by the floods, with at least 1,500 deaths.

*Clarification: The headline on this article has been amended to make it clear that the prayers are for those affected by floods and not an earthquake.
