Annual Report 2012

28 March 2024|Annual Report

The year 2012 proved to be tragic for many in the Middle East and in Africa. The war in Syria precipitated a huge humanitarian crisis. Our teams were in the thick of it in three cities, reaching out to tens of thousands of fellow Syrians.

With the help of the newly established Rapid Response Team, the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) expanded its emergency programmes in Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon.

Over 130,000 people were newly displaced due to the chronic war in eastern Congo. The JRS teams were briefly evacuated but returned to resume their work.
