Philippines: Help Mindanao’s war refugees

October 27, 2008

Originally posted on IACenter.org

An unprecedented humanitarian crisis has brought about tremendous suffering, illness, and death to more than 500,000 war refugees in Mindanao, Philippines.
 
The numbers continue to rise as they crowd evacuation centers, makeshift tents or shelter with relatives. They are not able to return home due to all-out war offensives.
 
Help the evacuees by knowing the issues and responding to their immediate needs like medicines, food and clothing.
 
Visit the website kalinaw.com.ph for details on how you can extend your support.
 
Our work for peace starts with a kilo of rice for the hungry, a blanket to give warmth to a child, a health worker’s healing touch, and an advocate’s voice to end all-out war.
 
Act now to make this happen. Your help counts.
