Deadly Earthquake at the Turkey/Syrian Border

 

“We have reached out to partners in the region to determine the needs in the area and ways in which the UCC can be a part of the response through Global Ministries with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and through Global H.O.P.E.,” she continued. “We are already receiving preliminary reports from partners in the humanitarian community as they launch needs assessments and mobilize relief. We will collaborate with them as requests are received to support the response to this natural disaster.”

Ukraine Relief Effort

 
Russia Attacks Ukraine Infrastructure: Latest Updates - The New York Times
 
 
On February 24, 2022, the Russian military attacked Ukraine. According to UNHCR, the United Nations’ refugee agency, some 15 million people have been forcibly displaced, 8 million within Ukraine (IDPs) and 7 outside (refugees), making it the most rapid and largest single increase in forcibly displaced populations since WWII.  The UCC is considering requests for funds and stewarding donations carefully, given the protracted crisis and the certainty of the need for support in a years-long recovery once the war ends. “The situation is very fluid and immediate needs will continue to emerge, thus the intentionality for ensuring that UCC funding support remains steady and flexible,” said the Rev. Joshua Baird, Global H.O.P.E. team leader in the UCC’s Wider Church Ministries. “We know that by working together we can collectively have a stronger impact and response.”
