Turkey: Grave concern for 150 Iranian-Christians

Written by Super User 16 Nov 2011

Following a 7.5 Richter earthquake on the 23rd October in Van, Turkish and Islamic ‘Aid Agencies’ have not offered any form of assistance to nearly 3000 destitute Iranian asylum seekers living there. Strong after-shocks have repeatedly rocked the city and most of the local population has fled. The headquarters of the National Police, where most of refugee affairs are dealt with, was destroyed. Of about 3000 Iranian men, women, and children refugees from Iran about 150 are Christian escapees from the injustices of the Islamic Regime. Reports from Van show the Turkish government is only helping the local population, the Islamic Red Crescent agency has point blank refused to extend help to Iranian refugees & asylum seekers. Turkish ‘aid agencies’ and ‘Islamic Republic’s Aid Agencies’ have not offered help or assistance to Iranians forced to endure winter weather, lack of shelter and hunger.

Pray: for justice and the release of appropriate humanitarian aid immediately, and for God's comfort for His people. (Ps.14:4-6)
