1 out of every 5 Iraqis have been displaced*. Almost 5 million Iraqis have become refugees.
Do something about it.
Middle East Fellowship, in partnership with the Middle East Council of Churches, will be bringing participants to Syria and Lebanon to meet with Iraqi refugees and humanitarian organizations who are working on their behalf. The plight of Iraqi refugees is a crisis that has received little media attention but has become a critical humanitarian issue throughout the Middle East.
The delegation will be led by Nuhad Tomeh, the Associate General Secretary of the Middle East Council of Churches.
Cost: $1,495 per participant (not including flight).
Goals of the trips:
• To identify groups and churches who are assisting the refugee populations in the Middle East and discover opportunities to support their efforts.
• To analyze the current predicament of Middle East refugee populations by speaking with humanitarian organizations, local churches, U.N. representatives and others who are responding to the growing crisis.
• To raise awareness worldwide about the plight of refugees.
