Church World Service assists refugees and internally displaced people throughout the Middle East. 

Often when people are forced to flee by violence or disaster, CWS will provide support in the way of CWS Kits and other resources to help in times of crisis. CWS and partner the Middle East Council of Churches supports Palestinian refugees in a wide variety of programs, assisting some of the most vulnerable of this long-displaced population. 

For some refugees, returning home is not possible.  In cooperation with the U.S. government, CWS has an extensive network of partners and affiliates in the U.S. that work to resettle refugees to the U.S. and walk with them as they begin new lives--lives filled with security and promise.
