  • Roshdy Ayad drives a cart along a farm road in Zeitun, Gaza. The border with Israeli is just 600 meters away, and military activity in the area has precluded constructing the infrastructure necessary for farming. In the wake of the truce that ended the 2014 war between Hamas and the Israeli military, Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe, a member of the ACT Alliance, built this road so that farmers could have access to the area. ACT Alliance members are supporting health care, vocational training, rehabilitation of housing and water systems, psycho-social care, and other humanitarian actions throughout the besieged Palestinian territory.

  • People walk through the market in the Yusuf Batil refugee camp in South Sudan's Upper Nile State. More than 110,000 refugees were living in four camps in Maban County in October 2012, but officials expected more would arrive once the rainy season ended and people could cross rivers that block the routes from Sudan's Blue Nile area, where Sudanese military has been bombing civilian populations as part of its response to a local insurgency. Conditions in the camps are often grim, with outbreaks of diseases such as Hepatitis E.

  • Habib Kamal Habib, Alae Adel Gabriel and Risk Sahata Alid El Masieh sweep up garbage in the Egyptian village of Kafr Darwish. The men's work of cleaning the village streets is part of a relief project sponsored by the ACT Alliance and carried out by Bless, the social development agency of the Coptic Orthodox Church. It has benefited individuals and families adversely affected by the Libyan revolution and other events in the Arab Spring, which caused many Egyptians working abroad to lose their employment and return to their home villages. The project involved cleaning the village, reconstructing homes and improving the local quality of life. All three men worked in Libya before the revolution there.

  • A boy rides a donkey in Picmy, a village on the Haitian island of La Gonave, where Service Chrétien d’Haïti has helped survivors of the massive 2016 Hurricane Matthew. SCH is a member of the ACT Alliance, and providing donkeys to affected families has been a common practice, as the animals make it easier to move cops to market, and their owners can sell the offspring for a profit.
