I have often seen people who have lost everything. But in Iraq. there are Christians who have had to leave everything and take flight three or four times. They can see no light at the end of the tunnel. "Last spring. hundreds of Assyrian Christians fled to Lebanon after ISIS jihadists stormed their villages in Syrias northeastern province of Hasakeh. "Members of Lebanons Assyrian community did their best to welcome the new refugees. but the displacement had left them traumatized. "The villages of Khabur are empty now. there is no one left except some fighters. lamented Chorbishop Yatron Koliana. as he oversaw the distribution at his diocese." Mr. Speaker. this is tragic. Christian villages 2.000 years old. destroyed.
