  • 9 March 2022, Nyíregyháza, Hungary: Six-year-old girl Regina enters her family's new temporary home in Nyíregyháza. With the recent influx of refugees arriving in Hungary from the east following the Russian invasion of neighbouring Ukraine, the Evangelical Lutheran congregation in Nyíregyháza Kertváros is working hard to accommodate and support people arriving in the city. 23-year-old mother Paulina alongside her husband, a new-born baby and two daughters, is one of the beneficiaries, staying in a house offered as accommodation for incoming refugees by congregants from Nyíregyháza Kertváros. Being 8-months pregnant when starting the journey from Ukraine to neighboring Hungary, Paulina gave birth to her third child the same day she and her family crossed the border. Having started going into labour while still being on the way, Paulina was rushed from the border crossing to a nearby hospital in Fehérgyarmat in order to give birth. Hospital staff reportedly said it was a miracle the child and mother are both healthy and well.

  • A boy sells peanuts in an internally displaced persons camp in Manangui, South Sudan. Families started arriving here shortly after fighting broke out in December 2013, and new families continued to arrive in March 2014 as fighting continued. Many are living in the open and under trees. The ACT Alliance is providing the displaced families and the host communities affected by their presence with a variety of support, including new wells.

  • Carrying an empty can to sit on during class, a girl walks to the Caritas-supported St. Daniel Comboni School in Agok, South Sudan, where tens of thousands of residents of Abyei, a contested region along the border between Sudan and South Sudan, remain displaced. Under a 2005 peace agreement, Abyei was supposed to have a referendum to decide which country it would join, but the two countries have yet to agree on who can vote. In 2011, militias aligned with Khartoum drove out most of Abyei's Dinka Ngok residents, pushing them across a river into the town of Agok. More than 40,000 Dinka Ngok have since returned to Abyei with support from Caritas South Sudan, which has drilled wells, built houses, opened clinics and provided seeds and tools for the returnees. Yet continuing insecurity means a greater number remain in Agok, where they remain dependant on Caritas and other organizations for food and other support.

  • A girl pumps water from a well constructed by Caritas in a displaced persons camp in Agok, South Sudan. Tens of thousands of residents of Abyei, a contested region along the border between Sudan and South Sudan, remain displaced in Agok. Under a 2005 peace agreement, Abyei was supposed to have a referendum to decide which country it would join, but the two countries have yet to agree on who can vote. In 2011, militias aligned with Khartoum drove out most of Abyei's Dinka Ngok residents, pushing them across a river into the town of Agok. More than 40,000 Dinka Ngok have since returned to Abyei with support from Caritas South Sudan, which has drilled wells, built houses, opened clinics and provided seeds and tools for the returnees. Yet continuing insecurity means a greater number remain in Agok, where they remain dependant on Caritas and other organizations for food and other support.

  • Adow Ibrahim Ali (right) provides water to Ibrahim Osman Mohammed in a remote section of eastern Kenya near the Somali border. Traveling with his cousin, the later man left his home in Buale, in the Middle Juba region of Somalia, three weeks before because a severe drought killed most of their animals. Their wives and children traveled ahead of them to the Dadaab refugee camp in vehicles, while they followed with the cart carrying their meager belongings. Already the world's world's largest refugee settlement, Dadaab has swelled in recent weeks with tens of thousands of recent arrivals fleeing drought in Somalia. The Lutheran World Federation, a member of the ACT Alliance, is manager of the camp, and in July opened a new extension to begin housing the newest refugees. Adow Ibrahim Ali is a leader in Dagahaley, one of three separate camps in the Dadaab complex. He also coordinates the ACT Alliance-sponsored Community Peace and Security Team in Dagahaley.
