The relief materials included essential supplies aimed at meeting immediate needs, demonstrating the diocese’s dedication to compassionate service.
This act of solidarity not only reflects the diocese’s mission to provide timely support but also showcases the power of collaboration in times of crisis. By working closely with local authorities, the Jaffna Diocese ensured that relief reached those most in need.
