As war continues to rage in Ukraine, the Voluntary CEO of Chernobyl Children International, Adi Roche speaks about how her organisation is mobilising to help the most vulnerable. By Lydia O’Kane “I have remained in this fog of war since the 24 February,” waking, like everybody else, to hear the terrible news of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, says Adi Roche, Founder and CEO of the Irish-based organisation Chernobyl Children International. The date is now etched in her mind just like that of 26 April 1986, when an explosion at the Chernobyl plant, 130 km north of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, led to the world’s worst nuclear disaster. For 36 years her charity has been tirelessly supporting the children of Chernobyl, Belarus, and Ukraine, but she described the occupation of the Chernobyl plant at the start of the war as an ominous sign. “The quickest route to Kyiv was to come through the world’s most toxic environment… through the Chernobyl exclusion zone and that told me in that one cavalier act… this signified to the world that the nature of modern warfare that we have known up to now had changed fundamentally forever,” she says. A cry for help The CEO is familiar with the community of people in a number of the towns and villages in the zone, where three hundred thousand people were living in terror in bunkers for that five or six weeks period until Russian troops left the nuclear plant. “They came to us and I can still remember the words, ‘don’t send us your compassion, don’t send us your love and solidarity; we want water, we want food. We won't die of a bomb or a bullet, we will die of dehydration and starvation.’” Having appealed for help from a number of aid organizations, Ms. Roche says it was Caritas who stepped in to provide support; and within 24 hours of the troop withdrawal from that region, Caritas, on her organisation’s behalf, was delivering food and water to those in need. Lifesaving treatment Chernobyl Children International continues to provide support and care decades on from the 1986 nuclear disaster in the form of specific programmes, such as a child cardiac surgery programme in Belarus and Ukraine to combat the marked increase in cardiac birth defects. One of the centres the charity helped set up is in the now war-torn city of Kharkiv, which had already been put under severe pressure due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the early days of the war, the head surgeon and his team were determined to keep going and continued to perform operations in the hospital’s basement. Ms. Roche says what moved the surgeon and his wife to flee was when their apartment building in the city was bombed, leaving them with just the clothes on their backs. They managed to get to Lviv, where the medical team is now based. As the onslaught of war continues, the charity is planning to send an 18-strong surgical, cardiac, and pediatric team into Lviv to perform lifesaving surgeries on newborn babies who were born in bunkers and other terrible conditions, but who cannot survive with their current heart conditions. This will be the second time since the war began that a group of medics will have made their way to Lviv to perform lifesaving operations. Just three weeks into the conflict, and under the radar, they arrived in the city from Krakow despite the risks to their safety. Abandoned children Last week, the human rights organization, Disability Rights International, published the findings of an investigation that found that children with severe disabilities have been abandoned in Ukrainian institutions since the beginning of the invasion. Speaking about the plight of children in these orphanages, Adi Roche says a huge child welfare humanitarian crisis is unfolding in Ukraine. “There are between a hundred and fifty and two hundred thousand children that are warehoused in 700 orphanages dotted throughout Ukraine, many of which, as we speak, are in occupied territories, and the shocking thing to know is these are the children that are not on anybody’s radar.” The CEO goes on to say that in one orphanage alone, findings revealed that these children, some of whom are disabled, were abandoned by their carers. “These children were on the cusp, on the edge between life and death from dehydration and from starvation,” but thankfully have been saved, she says. “Unfortunately, in every war borders become porous and you have people with ill intent taking advantage of the agony and the suffering of others.” The chief executive also highlights that evidence is now emerging which shows that human traffickers are targeting orphanages in Ukraine, and describes this as another fallout from “this terrible war as it's unfolding.” Refugees and trauma Since the start of the war, millions of Ukrainians have been forced to flee their towns and cities, making the journey to other European countries in search of support and safety. Asked about the issue of refugees and the possibility of bringing seriously ill children to other European countries for treatment, Roche acknowledges that the issue is being very “hotly debated.” “What is being hotly debated is whether countries can keep going at the level of refugees we have all over Europe and that we will have in the future as the war progresses. And sometimes the answers are not necessarily what we would want to hear, but the debates are raging.” Some of the world’s experts in trauma, in the aftermath of war, she adds, have the view that the world should be propping up the nearest geographical areas because people recover better from trauma and shock if they are reasonably close to where they come from. She also says the thinking on bringing seriously ill children to countries such as Ireland for treatment is that “sometimes the risk is too great” because of the whole question of their survival when they are already in a very fragile state. “That’s why we have gone for, I suppose you could say, the most dangerous route but actually for us, it’s the most honest and it is the most immediate, which is you do it in culture and in-country within the war zone.” Constant support For 36 years, Adi Roche and the organization she founded have been a lifeline to the children of Chernobyl and beyond. Now as this war continues to rage, she says, “we will continue to watch over Ukraine… you are not forgotten.” | |||||
欧盟正准备将俄罗斯东正教宗主教基利尔列入制裁名单，理由是他支持俄罗斯对乌克兰的袭击。 向西方媒体泄露的消息中指出，欧盟将把宗主教基里尔纳入针对俄罗斯出台的第六套制裁措施。在欧盟外交关系局起草的制裁文本中指出，宗主教基里尔被视为是“俄罗斯攻击乌克兰的最重要支持者之一”。 基里尔宗主教也被评估为加强俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京对乌克兰的话语权的重要角色。例如，基里尔在祈祷活动中发表支持战争的讲话就是一个例子。 基里尔长期以来一直被认为是普京最重要的支持者之一。 据报道，欧盟第六轮制裁措施包括禁止从俄罗斯进口石油、将包括俄罗斯最大银行之一的俄罗斯联邦储蓄银行在内的部分银行从SWIFT系统中移除以及禁止部分俄罗斯媒体。 俄罗斯军队于 2 月 24 日对乌克兰发动袭击。 | |||||
自烏克蘭爆發戰爭以來，匈牙利明愛會一直為流離失所者和難民提供幫助，尤其是分發日常生活基本必需品。 （梵蒂岡新聞網）匈牙利主教團秘書長托特（Tamás Tóth）蒙席日前向本新聞網描述匈牙利明愛會的工作時表示：教宗方濟各邀請眾人在聖灰禮儀瞻禮為烏克蘭和平守齋時，匈牙利教會就即刻做出回應，來應對正在發生的災難，這是精神和物質上的回應。人口不到1千萬的匈牙利正面對難民潮，到目前為止已有大約70萬人抵達該國。托特蒙席指出，“對一個小國家，比如匈牙利，這是一個非常龐大的數目。感謝天主，在不同組織和國家當局之間有非常美好的合作，這樣，我們才有辦法竭盡所能”。 托特蒙席解釋說，在與烏克蘭西部地區接壤的喀爾巴阡一帶，匈牙利明愛會“與烏克蘭明愛會關係緊密，那裡有少數匈牙利人，也有來自烏克蘭其它地方的國內難民。匈牙利明愛會每天會往那裡運送兩卡車的援助物品。“我們努力給予他們初步援助，然後明愛會等慈善機構會接納那些抵達匈牙利的人”。接納舉動超越國籍、性別和膚色，因為這“是我們基督徒的責任”。 因此，“教會為留在匈牙利比較久的人提供住宿，也保證孩童有機會進入匈牙利天主教學校。至於語言問題，許多義工幫忙翻譯，因為有很多匈牙利居民原籍是烏克蘭或斯拉夫裔”。 匈牙利主教團秘書長解釋說，互相瞭解不是問題，“因為落實第一步驟的關鍵在於愛的語言。在這情況中，眼神一交會幾乎就能立刻彼此瞭解，這樣可以立刻開始對話。這是非常重要的”。 托特蒙席最後表示，所有匈牙利人，城市和鄉村居民都接待逃離的人。為此，匈牙利教會非常感謝她的信友們，因為到現在為止，“我們收到很多在資金和住宿方面的幫助。這馬上讓人看到了極其團結的守望相助，我們為這愛和關懷的標記表示非常感謝”。 | |||||

編譯組／聖荷西10日電 2022-05-11 02:00 一名三歲女童去年9月在聖荷西這棟房屋後方的小教會，接受驅魔儀式後死亡，當局裁定為謀殺。（電視新聞截圖） 一名三歲女童去年9月在聖荷西這棟房屋後方的小教會，接受驅魔儀式後死亡，當局裁定為謀殺。（電視新聞截圖） 聖荷西一個小教會證實，一名三歲女童去年9月在他們為她舉行驅魔儀式後死亡。教會領導人稱，女童的死是「神的旨意」，不是驅魔造成的。 聖荷西「使徒和先知教會」（Iglesia Apóstoles y Profetas）牧師，也是死亡女童普拉克特（Arely Naomi Proctor）外祖父胡耶索（Rene Huezo）說：「如果你讀過聖經，你知道耶穌趕走魔鬼，讓病人恢復健康。這是上帝按照祂的旨意，在祂想要治癒一個人的時候做的。傳道者只是上帝的工具，我們做的事是上帝的吩咐。」 這起女童窒息死亡案已被聖他克拉拉縣法醫辦公室裁定為謀殺。當局指出，女童的母親赫南德茲（Claudia Hernandez）因為在驅魔儀式中對女童進行催吐、擠壓其頸部，導致女童死亡，已被當局逮捕。但儀式中負責壓住女童的胡耶索和女童舅舅，並未遭到指控。 「使徒和先知教會」與上個月一起男嬰綁架案也有關聯，一名綁匪是這個教會的教友。不過，教會其他教友表示，他們對這起罪案一無所知。 胡耶索表示，他對孫女的死亡感到十分悲痛，他知道人們很難了解發生了什麼事，但「這與神有關，所有的事，無論大小，都在上帝的旨意中」。 胡耶索不願談論驅魔的細節，只表示，孫女來到教會時是睡著的，整個儀式進行了約兩小時，她沒有尖叫，也沒有出現任何痛苦的症狀。 當天沒有在場的另一名「使徒和先知教會」傳道士阿亞拉（Oscar Ayala）認為，在場的人應該早一點尋求醫療幫助。法庭文件指出，在女童死亡後，赫南德茲等了一、兩個小時才撥打911報案。 阿亞拉說：「我知道我們沒有做傷天害理的事，我們問心無愧。或許我們沒有採取最合乎邏輯的行動，或許應該採取預防措施，例如帶她去醫院確保她沒事。」 對「使徒和先知教會」對像普拉克特這麼年幼的孩子進行驅魔，專家和宗教領袖感到震驚。姊妹會牧師艾斯柯巴（Rafael Escobar）表示，「使徒和先知教會」已不再屬於他們的聯盟，他對他們使用驅魔感到震驚，稱這是「黑暗做法」。 凱尼休斯大學（Canisius University）神學教授瓦德金斯（Timothy Wadkins）表示，薩爾瓦多的五旬節教會（pentecostal church）會進行驅魔，禁食通常是這個儀式的一部分，但對一個三歲孩子進行驅魔並不尋常。 | |||||

雖話天下武源出少林, 不過唔係家家都打得咁正宗, 原汁原味啵。 驅魔源出教會, 不過無牌行驅既唔少架喎。 經上耶穌驅魔, 成隊軍旅趕走哂, 有無玩綁手綁腳, 打心口呢啲招數呢? https://kknews.cc/news/xjrxvar.html呢啲一睇就係外行野, 外行人好多連神父牧師都唔曉分既… 再者....天主教係無修女能參予驅魔既。 Orthodox church 也不是敝教。 因為你外行， 東正教與天主教唔曉分， 有神父， 有修女， 就以為都係一樣。 | |||||

耶穌派遣這十二人，囑咐他們說：「外邦人的路，你們不要走；撒瑪黎雅人的城你們不要進， 6你們寧可往以色列家迷失了的羊那裏去。 雖然耶穌的救恩是由猶太人轉給外邦人, 但仍有次序, 時候未到便要等。 疫情下, 先搞定肉驅才搞靈魂, 人喪失咗肉驅就搞唔到佢既靈魂 |
