#PrayForTheWorld
#PrayForSyria as if it’s long history of civil war wasn’t enough, just last week 68 children died when a bomb blast hit bus convoys carrying evacuees from the besieged towns. This only contributes to the ongoing deathtoll:
“As the Syrian conflict enters its seventh year, more than 465,000 Syrians have been killed in the fighting, more than a million injured and over 12 million Syrians - half the country's prewar population - have been displaced from their homes.” -AlJazeera (16th May 2017)
#PrayForManchester now known as the Manchester Arena Attack, a suicide bomber targeted concert goers as they were exiting the venue. 22 people confirmed dead, one of them being as young as 8-years-old, and leaving 116 injured. Several people responsible for the terrorism have been detained, but it’s said there are many more linked to the attack still at large.
#PrayForMarawi radical ISIS-supporting group called The Maute are openly battling it out with Philippine armed forces, with gunmen running loose on the streets, taking hostages and planting bombs in homes and neighborhoods. Sites they have burned include a church, a school, city jail and college. President Duterte declared martial law and residential areas have been bombed by both terrorists and military, at least a dozen civilians dead and many more injured; clash ongoing.
#PrayForBangkok where a hospital nail bomb injured 24 people on the anniversary of the Thai coup. Though the hospital belonged to the military, it still treated civilians, with patients varying from the young to the elderly, all waiting for treatment. 3 people were struck with shrapnel to the face and neck.
#PrayForJakarta where suicide bombers set off explosives at one of Jakarta’s busiest transit hubs, killing 3 police officers and injuring 10 others. Residents recall the trauma left behind from last year’s terrorist assault in January where a suicide bombing and shooting in Jakarta killed 2 and wounded 24 people.
Terrorism has no religion. No race. No moral code. No ethics. No boundaries when it comes to bloodshed. Yes, I know it’s unfair some news gets circulated in mainstream media more than others. So learn. Read and educate yourself.
Then educate others so that they may do the same.
Spread the word and spread the love while we still can.
