In this video message, Anton Asfar, Secretary General of Caritas Jerusalem, discusses the tough realities they’re facing in Gaza. Despite their best efforts to provide food, supplies, and medical care, the situation is still incredibly challenging. With only nine medical centers still operating in the conflict zone, their teams are working from temporary shelters to meet the urgent needs of the people. The strain on dignity is evident, especially in the tired faces of children, women, and the elderly.

The DRC is facing a severe humanitarian crisis. Since March 2022, violence in North Kivu has displaced 1.2 million people, many now in overcrowded camps in Goma, where women and girls face heightened risks of sexual violence. Caritas Goma is providing clean water, medical care, and essential support, especially in remote areas. Our commitment to helping vulnerable groups remains strong, but we need your help to continue this critical work. Your donations are crucial to helping Caritas Congo Asbl expand its support programs and acquire the resources needed to ensure that displaced families receive the essential services they need.

In April last year, 630,000 Sudanese refugees, primarily women and children, sought refuge in Chad. Caritas Tchad is providing essential aid, emphasizing the resilience of Sudanese women. At Metche refugee camp, women have transformed valley floors into gardens and established food markets where 10-20% of aid food is resold for essentials. These gardens offer diverse diets and generate income. Caritas supports these efforts with tools, seeds, and irrigation. See resilience in action! https://buff.ly/4dcBKnB #Chad #CultivatingResilience #WomenEmpowerment #ResilientSudaneseWomen #Caritas #SustainableFuture #InspiringChange #WomenEmpowerment

Unfortunately, they could meet only online due to the escalation of the conflict in the region. Read more:
