Post War update

 


Post War update

As not to leave many of our friends and benefactors in the dark about the situation in the South I am sharing what I know having to be very prudent this will have to be short this time.

The war began on October 7th. and Sabah’s six-story home was demolished about two or three days after. She has gotten short messages out to me which say they are still okay, her and her husband. They have little water and food. Wasel our social worker was okay the first few days after the war and after we’ve had no news of her. Our two ladies have been running our programs for years and now all has come to a halt. We are not sure if the building where we rented an office is still standing. Our bank is in the same region and we don’t know if it is still standing and functioning. These three buildings were all in the Remal area of the city which was one of the first areas to be leveled. 

We are totally in the dark as to how we can help the population at this point. None of the borders are open and all five of us do not have our permits to enter as they have expired and we’ve been waiting to have them renewed. No one can help us get them renewed until after the war.

You see I have very little information to share with you. Still, we thank many of you who have written me telling me of your concern and many prayers for the situation. As soon as I know anything of importance I will add it to this website. Please keep up the prayers!

Abundant blessings on all of you,

Sr. Susan and Team
