The LWF is very concerned about the escalating situation in the Middle East region.

LWF calls on all parties involved to exercise maximum restraint and to abide by international humanitarian law. The direct and indirect impact on civilians and communities, most of whom were already experiencing the dire consequences of instability, will be catastrophic including the loss of life.

LWF advocates for peaceful means of resolving conflicts and urgently calls for renewed efforts from the international community to seek lasting peace in the region.

LWF prays for and stands in solidarity with all the affected communities that are living in fear.
