Watch Tearfund’s East Africa Disaster Management Lead Liz Myendo speak about the situation in this video. Many different things have contributed to the crisis, including ongoing conflict and climate change.Tearfund has been supporting an important peace-building initiative in the region. The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Pope and the moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland will make an Ecumenical Pilgrimage of Peace to Juba, South Sudan, from 3 to 5 February. It is the first time they have made a joint visit of this kind. Pray that this visit by Christian world leaders will draw attention to the situation, encourage more international engagement and help bring about peace.
