At the moment we don\u2019t know how many altogether, but\u00a0there are children, women and men, many people. The government is also helping and we, too, as a diocese, are helping these people. Two weeks ago our bishop, Bishop Luiz Lisboa, was in Metuge and delivered some facemasks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Bishop estimates that more than 1,100 people have been brutally murdered, hundreds have disappeared and more than 200,000 people have been forced to abandon their homes and seek refuge elsewhere. \u201cThe people are no longer cultivating their fields, and this has resulted in a great deal of hunger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The diocese is trying to provide food and save lives. They also seek to be spiritual accompaniment for all in despair, as these poor faithful have been terrorized &#8211; some even seeing their own family members beheaded.\u00a0 Jihadists were overheard telling people, \u201cIf you want to escape, run as far as you can, to the province of Nampula or another province.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Sisters are providing psychological counselling, spiritual and material support, and are doing the best they can to welcome and comfort their people. But they need our help.<\/p>\n<p>Can you aid our Sisters and religious\u00a0so they can tend to the lonely, the scared and the hungry in Mozambique?
