What Catholic Groups Are Doing to Help Victims of the Turkey-Syria Earthquake | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Vatican has started a relief fund for victims of the Turkey-Syria earthquake. Funds will also go to support missionary priests, religious women and others assisting on the ground. The Holy Father also continues to pray for those affected. In a tweet, Pope Francis said "I remain close with all my heart to the people affected by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria. I continue to pray for those who have lost their lives as well as the injured, family members and rescuers. May our concrete aid sustain them in the midst of this appalling tragedy." The death toll is quickly mounting and rescue workers are in a race against time. Director of Outreach for Aid to the Church in Need, Edward Clancy, joins to share the latest he is hearing from his people on the ground in Turkey and Syria. There are reports of deaths among many Christians and Catholics in places like Aleppo and Hama. The body of Fr. Imad Daher was pulled from his collapsed residence and he did not survive. In that same home, one of Clancy's colleagues, Monsignor Jean-Clement Jeanbart, was injured and is in the hospital. Clancy gives us an update on his condition. With all the damage and destruction, Clancy explains whether they are still able to serve people and what their efforts look like right now. He fills us in on where they go from here.
