(Jerusalem)–Next, World Vision International is transporting emergency relief supplies to communities in Gaza and the West Bank. The effort is aimed at helping areas that would be hardest hit by curfews and travel restrictions if war breaks out in Iraq. Anticipated interruptions could also interfere with existing humanitarian relief, especially if expatriate workers are ordered to leave. World Vision team members follow Christ’s example in working with the poor and oppressed in order to bear witness to the hope of the Gospel.
