In southern Lebanon, the reality of bombings between Israel and Hezbollah are all too familiar. The hope for many residents is the same: to remain connected to their homes. The church is helping them to do just that.
“As a church, our role is to help them to be rooted in their land,” said Father Marios Khairallah of St. George Melkite Greek Catholic Church in Tebnine, southern Lebanon.
The Melkite Greek Catholic Archeparchy of Tyre, with the help of CNEWA-Pontifical Mission, is providing food, medicine, housing to the displaced, medical care and more for affected families.
“We are the sons of this land and we want to remain,” said Jamil Salloum, a former resident of Yaroun.
