Damaged homes will be rebuilt in
Batnaya in northern Iraq with the help of 500,000 dollars in donations
collected by the Hungarian Catholic Bishops’ Conference, the
organisation said on Wednesday.
The
Hungarian Catholic Bishops’ Conference started collecting donations
online in June 2017 to help Christians communities in the Middle East,
the statement showed. The main target of the scheme was to help
persecuted Christians return to their homes, it added.
The
Hungarian Catholic Bishops’ Conference has transferred 500,000 dollars
to those in need through the Apostolic Nunciature in Baghdad. Head of
the Chaldean Catholic Church Louis Raphael I Sako said the revamp of
damaged buildings had started in Batnaya.
