(Iraq) — Two Christian humanitarian organizations are reaching out with God’s love into Iraq to help the victims of war in that country. World Concern and Food for the Hungry gave a grant to a local partner for a number of small-scale health emergency needs in Baghdad. The funds will be sent immediately into Iraq to provide quick assistance for the Iraqis. The grants will be followed in a few days by a team of Jordanians, who will conduct an initial assessment of humanitarian needs inside the country.
