From Church World Service (http://www.churchworldservice.org):
The escalation of conflict in Ukraine has triggered an immediate and steep rise in humanitarian needs as essential supplies and services are disrupted and civilians flee. As of March 10th, the number of refugees who fled Ukraine since February 24th surpassed 3 million. UNHCR has indicated that the situation looks set to become Europe’s largest refugee crisis this century and that 12 million people inside Ukraine will also need humanitarian assistance.
We lament the suffering related to mass displacement and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine and acknowledge the pain of third country nationals in Ukraine, of Ukrainians, as well as that of Ukrainians and Ukrainian Americans here in the U.S. who fear for their loved ones overseas. Our prayers are with everyone impacted by this conflict, their loved ones, and all who aid in their protection.
Join this important faith letter urging the administration to robustly respond to the protection needs of displaced and at-risk populations as the conflict in Ukraine escalates.
