The Muslim community raised £3,000 in one hour to support victims of London terror attack

A campaign led by a Muslim community to support the families of the victims of the London terror attack raised more than £3,000 in a single hour.

Muslims United for London launched a donations page after the atrocity in the capital, and donations immediately began to pour in.

All proceeds raised will go to the families of those who lost their lives.

The page reads: ‘While details of the victims are still emerging, the British Muslim community stands with the community during these difficult times and extends their support in raising funds to help with the immediate, short-term needs of the families of Keith Palmer, the other victims and the families of the victims.

‘While no amount of money will bring back lives lost or take away from the pain the victims and their families are going through, we hope to lessen their burden in some way.’

Aysha Frade, a mother who was on her way to pick up her children from school, was named this morning as one of the victims of the attack.

She died when the assailant ploughed a car into a crowd of pedestrians on Westminster Bridge.

Kurt Cochran, an American tourist on holiday in London to celebrate his 25th wedding anniversary, was killed after falling from Westminster Bridge onto the steps below.

Police Constable Keith Palmer was stabbed to death in the grounds of the Palace of Westminster by the terrorist, who was then shot dead by police.
