L’Église Unie du Canada est en communication directe avec les partenaires de Mission & Service dans la région. Samer Laham, du Conseil des Églises du Moyen-Orient (CEMO), transmet le message suivant à l’Église Unie :
« Dieu merci, l’équipe du CEMO est saine et sauve, mais la situation à Beyrouth dépasse l’entendement. Le niveau de destruction dans de nombreuses zones historiques de Beyrouth est incroyable [...]. Beyrouth aura besoin de milliards de dollars pour reconstruire ce qu’elle a perdu en une minute [...] et il lui faudra peut-être des années pour se remettre de cet événement catastrophique. »
Faites un don dès aujourd’hui pour aider les personnes touchées par cette tragédie survenue à Beyrouth.
