As quickly as it did, members of takmir (caretakers) and some of their families are ready to become volunteer committee at the same time. It means, volunteers do not get paid. Volunteers mean not taking a penny from refugee aid for the benefit of private interests and especially own family.

For days and nights, volunteer committee are ready to assist all available refugees. They eat and drink with them. The mosque committee should at least prepare for the three times meals for refugees a day. Until Friday (24/1), the number of refugees reached more than 3400 people from 800 families (head of household), including dozens of infants and children. At night that number could grow.
