“Thank God that MECC[‘s] team is safe but the situation in Beirut is beyond imagination. You cannot believe the level of destruction in many historical areas in Beirut […] Beirut needs billions of dollars to rebuild what it lost in one minute […] and maybe it will take some years to be recovered from this disastrous event."
The United Church of Canada has been in direct contact with Mission & Service partners in the region, including MECC, to provide support wherever it is most needed. Make a gift today to help those affected by this tragedy in Beirut.
