  • 17 March 2022, Sculeni, Romania: Ukrainian refugees enjoy a hot meal, at an AIDRom support point by the Sculeni border crossing connecting Romania and Moldova. The border crossing at Sculeni, near Iasi, Romania, serves as an entry-point for Ukrainian refugees fleeing the atrocities of war caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Located at Romania’s eastern border, the crossing sees Ukrainian refugees enter Romania after passage through Moldova.

The Vyšné Nemecké border crossing connects Slovakia with the city of Uzhgorod in Ukraine.

  • 6 October 2018, Jordan Valley, West Bank, Occupied Palestinian Territories: A simple meal closes the visit of the EAs to the community this particular day, as a gesture of hospitality, and a sign of appreciation for the presence and protection they provide to the community. Ecumenical Accompaniers from the World Council of Churches Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine in Israel accompany shepherds in many parts of the West Bank, providing an international presence known to have a mitigating effect on confrontations between Israeli settlers and the Palestinians. EAs' presence also helps Palestinians access lands they otherwise might not have dared to continue to cultivate. In the West Bank’s Area C, any land that isn’t cultivated for a period of three years becomes property of the state, the shepherds explain, so accessing their lands regularly is vital for the communities and their herds.

  • Children eat a meal in the Makpandu refugee camp, a ramshackle collection of huts with mud walls and thatched roofs spread through a remote section of forest 40 kilometers from Yambio, the capital of Western Equatoria State in the newly independent South Sudan. More than 3,000 people live in the camp, having fled the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2008 when the Lord's Resistance Army started a murderous rampage through the area. In recent months the Congolese have been experiencing harassment and insults from the local population. Religious workers say the refugees want to go home to the Congo, but not until Joseph Kony and the LRA are removed.
