At least 5,000 people \u2013 1,300 families \u2013 in Aleppo and Hassake, both in northern Syria, are in line for a six months\u2019 supply of gas, electricity, water and rent. This emergency aid is desperately needed amid a deepening infrastructure crisis caused by growing conflict in the area. Last month&#8217;s missile attacks on Aleppo have destroyed more homes and inflicted many casualties.<\/p>\n<p>John Pontifex, ACN UK Head of Press and Information, who has just returned from a visit to Syria said: \u201cAgainst a backdrop of enormous suffering which we saw for ourselves, ACN\u2019s help is a great consolation. We were told this again and again by bishops, priests, Sisters, young and old who gave us words of thanks to be passed on to our wonderful benefactors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs one priest in Homs said to me: \u2018Our tears are not only tears of sadness, they are tears of joy that someone has heard our cries and come to help us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u00a3187,000 aid package will be co-ordinated by Sister Annie Demerjian, a long-standing ACN project partner in Syria, who leads a team of people that have been assessing the needs of thousands of people in the area. 25 projects by ACN UK will start this month, including a programme of pastoral activities for refugee women supported by the Good Shepherd Sisters in Ain Saade, Lebanon.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>ACN Malta<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New emergency aid package for Syria &nbsp; People under constant threat of bombardment in the Syrian city of Aleppo will receive a new emergency relief package in the latest round of aid payments announced by the UK Head of international Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN).\u00a0 Neville Kyrke-Smith, National Director of ACN&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13507,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-e-newsletters"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 -
