  • The remains of a partially-destroyed house in Mijak, a village in the contested Abyei region from which residents fled in 2011 after an attack by soldiers and militias from the northern Republic of Sudan. Although the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement called for residents of Abyei--which sits on the border between Sudan and South Sudan--to hold a referendum on whether they wanted to align with the north or the newly independent South Sudan, the government in Khartoum and northern-backed Misseriya nomads, excluded from voting as they only live part of the year in Abyei, blocked the vote and attacked the majority Dinka Ngok population. The African Union has proposed a new peace plan, including a referendum to be held in October 2013, but it has been rejected by the Misseriya and Khartoum. The Catholic parish of Abyei, with support from Caritas South Sudan and other international church partners, has maintained its pastoral presence among the displaced and assisted them with food, shelter, and other relief supplies.

Norwegian Church Aid, a member of the ACT Alliance, has provided relief supplies to the displaced in Wau, and has supported the South Sudan Council of Churches as it has struggled to mediate the conflict in Wau.

  • 13 October 2022, Ichnya, Ukraine: 'Exit' reads letters on a door in an underground bomb shelter undergoing renovation at the Ichnya school of Vasilchenko in the Ichnya municipality of Chernihiv Oblast, Ukraine — home to 540 students (boys and girls) aged 6-16. The school is currently empty of its students, with classes taught online only, until secure bomb shelters can be restored at the school. Following the invasion of Ukraine by Russian military forces in February 2022, Ukrainian schools are no longer allowed to undertake onsite schooling without functional bomb shelters available in case or air raids or other attacks. The Lutheran World Federation collaborates with the municipality of Ichnya to help renovate existing but not-yet-functional shelters in the school basement, intended to secure protection for at least 1,000 people in case of emergency. [Image captured on assignment for the Lutheran World Federation, whose member churches and partners can use it free of charge to report about the LWF’s work, with credit to ’LWF/Albin Hillert’ upon publication.]

Following the invasion of Ukraine by Russian military forces in February 2022, Ukrainian schools are no longer allowed to undertake onsite schooling without functional bomb shelters available in case or air raids or other attacks. The Lutheran World Federation collaborates with the municipality of Ichnya to help renovate existing but not-yet-functional shelters in the school basement, intended to secure protection for at least 1,000 people in case of emergency.
