DARFUR, SUDAN — Samaritan’s Purse is providing emergency supplies: shelter materials and medical supplies to refugees in Chad who are fleeing violent conflict in Sudan.

Aaron Ashoff – Samaritan’s Purse:

On April 15, Civil War broke out in Khartoum, Sudan. This is one of the most devastated parts of the world that sees violence all too often. Hundreds of thousands of people fled from this conflict, including 300,000 refugees now in Chad.

In response to this crisis, Samaritan’s Purse, at the request of the ambassador of Chad, sent our DC-8 loaded with shelter, medical supplies to minister to those who are hurting.

Please pray with us. Pray for the response. Pray most of all for the people in Chad who need assistance. Thank you.
