Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
The world has been shocked in recent weeks by the ongoing images of chaos at Kabul’s airport as tens of thousands of desperate people, including UK citizens, try to escape the Taliban. These Islamic extremists are poised to force Afghanistan back into a dark and brutal state where Christians, anyone who associated with the West, women, and others face severe persecution and death. Some of our brothers and sisters in Christ are running from place to place, trying to stay safe.
Samaritan’s Purse has been partnering with organisations on the ground to get men, women, and children out of this horrific situation. They have been able to sponsor flights that have brought hundreds to safety—one of their partners made three trips that brought out 700 people in one day! They have also supported the evacuation of 80 missionary families via land routes.
They also have a Disaster Assistance Response Team in the region to determine how and where they can best help those who have fled with only the clothes on their backs. They know hygiene items will be urgently needed, and traumatised children will need comfort items and compassionate care
