Diocese of Imphal Extends Helping Hand to 100 Families Affected by Ethnic Clashes in Manipur

In a compassionate response to the ongoing turmoil caused by ethnic clashes, Believers Eastern Church Diocese of Imphal held a relief supply distribution program on September 30, 2023, providing much-needed assistance to 100 families who have been adversely affected by the crisis.

The compassionate endeavor was spearheaded by H.G. Jeremiah Mor Theodosius Episcopa, who personally distributed the relief items to the families in need.

The ethnic clashes between the Meiteis and the Kuki-Zo communities, which have plagued the region since May 3, 2023, have led to the displacement of over 50,000 people from their homes. The ethnic clashes have left both Kuki-Zo and Meitei families grappling with the harsh realities of displacement, loss, and uncertainty. While Manipur is known for its rich cultural diversity, these clashes have taken a toll on the social fabric of the region. The road to reconciliation and healing appears to be a long and challenging one.
