Here are 5 ways we can embrace these values in response to the ongoing crisis in Israel and Gaza. Read more at the link: https://lnkd.in/g33rdjpX #gaza #israelgaza #humanitarianprinciples

Did you know that 39% of the world’s refugees are hosted in just 5 countries? Many refugees first seek safety in neighboring or nearby countries. This can create disproportionate strain on certain regions already facing or at risk of fragility. Countries like the U.S. can play an important role in responding to global displacement by welcoming refugees who need safe places to rebuild. Together, we can all help refugees find safety and a flourishing future. 💙 Learn more about how you can support refugees at the link: https://bit.ly/3BtP8pF #StandWithRefugees

As communities across the southeastern U.S. begin the long road to recovery from hurricane Helene, we stand with them in solidarity and prayer. World Relief staff and program participants have suffered damage to their homes and are without power and cell service, including at our World Relief Upstate SC office serving Greenville and Spartanburg counties. Despite being personally impacted by the storm, our staff in South Carolina are currently delivering food packets, assessing damage and meeting the immediate needs of their refugee and immigrant neighbors, even as they continue their work of welcoming refugees whose flights are scheduled to arrive today. Will you join us in praying for them and all communities impacted by this disaster? To give to the response efforts of our team in South Carolina, visit the link: https://lnkd.in/gwtg-Br3
