  • 9 March 2022, Nyíregyháza, Hungary: 23-year-old mother Paulina from Ukraine and her 4-year-old daughter Paulina spend time in their new temporary home in Nyíregyháza. With the recent influx of refugees arriving in Hungary from the east following the Russian invasion of neighbouring Ukraine, the Evangelical Lutheran congregation in Nyíregyháza Kertváros is working hard to accommodate and support people arriving in the city. 23-year-old mother Paulina alongside her husband, a new-born baby and two daughters, is one of the beneficiaries, staying in a house offered as accommodation for incoming refugees by congregants from Nyíregyháza Kertváros. Being 8-months pregnant when starting the journey from Ukraine to neighboring Hungary, Paulina gave birth to her third child the same day she and her family crossed the border. Having started going into labour while still being on the way, Paulina was rushed from the border crossing to a nearby hospital in Fehérgyarmat in order to give birth. Hospital staff reportedly said it was a miracle the child and mother are both healthy and well.

  • 6 October 2018, Jordan Valley, West Bank, Occupied Palestinian Territories: 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.

The shelter currently offers accommodation to a few dozen refugees from the Donbas region of Ukraine, in addition to its regular work in housing and accompanying so-called social orphans — children whose parents are alive and known, but who are currently unable to take care of their children on their own. Following the eruption of war in Ukraine, many refugees from the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine have taken refuge across the border in neighbouring Russia. Located close to the border, the Shakhty diocese (Russian Orthodox Church, Moscow Patriarchate) receives refugees mainly from the area of Donbas, the majority of whom are women and children. Close to a million people — most of them women and children — have fled from Ukraine to Russia according to mid-May figures from the United Nations (UNHCR) following the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February.
