Aide urgente nécessaire pour les survivants du tremblement de terre
Des millions de Syriens ont été secoués par la catastrophe du 6 février et ont trouvé leur vie, comme les bâtiments qui les entouraient, réduits en décombres. Les églises partenaires de CNEWA sur le terrain réagissent rapidement pour fournir de la literie, de la nourriture, des médicaments, du lait, du lait maternisé et des couches à plus de 2 000 familles cherchant un abri d'urgence dans des couvents, des salles paroissiales et des écoles. En ce moment critique, votre soutien généreux et priant est plus que nécessaire - il est vital pour leur survie. Serez-vous une bouée de sauvetage pour tant de femmes, d'enfants et de personnes âgées qui n'ont nulle part où aller? Veuillez faire un don en ligne à rcav.org/syrie
