My friend, my brother in spirit, has been on the frontlines of world crises for decades…Afghanistan, Yemen, Nigeria, and on and on…he ran a hospital in Gaza for two years and has been doing the same in Jordan for the last 18 months. Most of the patients are children and women who are overflow from Gaza…burns…amputations…extreme war related injuries.
I’ve been trying to reach him ever since this new war began and this morning I heard from him.
His news? Jordan is not directly being targeted, there are rockets flying overhead constantly on the way to Israel and they are all sheltering together, stockpiling food and whatever supplies they can. The borders are closed and the regional escalation will impact them dramatically. The Red Sea and the Arabian Sea are shut down and so water will be an issue. The staff is trying to keep the patients calm…they have all been through unimaginable terrors already and know the program. And now they are all stuck where they are together.
Active awareness…..prayers…..please….thank you.
