In July, after violence erupted in Syria’s Suwayda region, killing 594 people and displacing thousands, Christian Aid received the following message from a ministry that has worked in the region:
We write to you with trembling hearts.
Days ago, unspeakable horror unfolded in Suwayda, Syria, where entire families were massacred without mercy. People were killed in a brutal terrorist attack—among them were believers in Christ, people we have served and prayed with. The darkness that swept through their homes has left behind a deep, aching silence.
We cry out with the psalmist in Psalm 10, pleading for God’s justice. Friends, we are not just watching a tragedy unfold—we are in the middle of it.
