Families fleeing violence on the Cambodian border need your help
You may have seen on the news in recent weeks that conflict has broken out along the Cambodia-Thai border between the two countries’ armed forces.
Innocent civilians have been killed and injured, as homes and temples have been hit by missiles and cluster munitions, and thousands have had to flee their villages to take refuge in temporary shelters further inland.
These are some of Cambodia’s most vulnerable people – families from poorer rural areas that have had to flee their homes and livelihoods at a moment’s notice. Forced to leave behind what little they had and bring only what they could carry on their backs.
So now, in the midst of monsoon season, they find themselves sheltering from searing heat, blasts of monsoon rain and gusting winds, underneath temporary tarpaulins and lying atop cardboard mats or just on the muddy ground.
Our ministry partner in Cambodia is already on the ground there with them, delivering emergency food packages to these families in need. These packages contain basic staples – rice, canned fish, and milk – enough to help a struggling family get through the coming days.
Pray with us
• Pray for a peaceful resolution to this conflict, and for it to come soon.
• Pray for these displaced families, especially the children, as they face terrible living conditions and uncertainty about when they can return home and what they will find there when they do.
• Give generously today to help feed these families during their time of need.
[If we receive donations exceeding what is required for this specific appeal, additional funds will be allocated through our ‘Where Most Needed’ fund to address critical needs across our overseas programs, ensuring your gift continues to make a life-changing impact.]
Yes! I want to help families fleeing conflict in Cambodia.
