“Without your help we would not survive”
Missiles and aerial bombardments have destroyed houses, hospitals and whole swathes of cities. More than six million people are internally displaced, driven from their homes by a conflict which has killed at least 7,000 civilians – including more than 400 children.
But the Church is staying with the people.
“Without your assistance, without your help we would not survive – it is a miracle that we have survived for a year!”
– Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk,
head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church
