Sudan: Civil war has displaced more than 7.7 million people, creating the
world's largest displacement crisis. Islamic extremists have destroyed more
than a hundred churches and targeted Christians for kidnapping and murder.
Myanmar: Christians in the Kachin region have suffered what activists
describe as a "slow genocide," particularly since the 2021 military coup.
Nigeria: Nigeria remains the deadliest country for Christians, with 9,814
confirmed deaths between 2022 and 2024.
Gaza: Since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas, Gaza's Christian
communities have been on the brink of extinction, with almost all their
homes destroyed.
