emergency response

Residents describe their lives and living conditions since the start of the conflict in the Holy Land.

CRS Responds to Crises Around The World – This is the latest report on Catholic Relief Services’ ongoing emergency response and recovery activities around the world. Our work is possible thanks to the generous support of private and public donors, the dedication of local partners, and the unwavering presence of Caritas and the local Catholic Church. This month, there is a particular focus on the Holy Land. This region has been affected by protracted conflict, violence, and instability, resulting in widespread suffering and displacement. CRS, in collaboration with local partners, is supporting efforts to provide lifesaving aid and long-term assistance to the most vulnerable communities there.

Displaced families return home to start and grow businesses that allow them to rebuild their lives.

Cash transfers allow participants to plan, purchase and grow a business based on their own needs and skills.
