On Thursday November 26, the Secretary General and the Second Secretary attended a meeting of the Humanitarian Corridors' Taskforce at the Community of Sant’Egidio’s headquarters in Brussels, along with representatives from the Roman Catholic and Protestant churches.
They received an update from Prof. Dr. Jan De Volder about the situation of refugees in both Lebanon and Pakistan, and he highlighted the need for more communities in Belgium that are willing to welcome and sponsor families and support their integration into Belgian society.

Since 2019, the Anglican Church in Belgium has already welcomed several families through the Humanitarian Corridors scheme and hopes to continue partnering with Sant’Egidio in the coming years to offer safe refuge to families fleeing life-threatening situations.
