In the wake of the recent deadly earthquakes that have struck Afghanistan, causing widespread devastation and loss of life, the Patriarch of Jerusalem is urging everyone to come together in prayer and solidarity. These tragic events have brought immense suffering to the affected communities, and the Patriarch is calling upon individuals and religious congregations around the world to offer their prayers and support for the victims and their families during this difficult time. At least 2,000 have died as a result of these earthquakes.
Together, through our collective compassion and empathy, we can provide comfort and strength to those affected by this natural disaster and work towards the recovery and healing of the affected regions.
