According to the US Council on Foreign Relations, there are 28 active conflicts worldwide today. Each one holds unique dangers for Deaf individuals, from Ukraine to Gaza to Sudan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even fleeing to safety can be deadly. Rob Myers of DOOR International says, \u201cWe know of Deaf people who have been shot on site because the person asking them questions doubted that they were Deaf.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deaf people often miss critical wartime information because of language barriers. For example, in Ukraine, \u201cHearing people in the cities would hear the UN trucks coming and would know that they were carrying food and supplies, and so they would run out and start to grab supplies,\u201d Myers says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDeaf people were not aware that the trucks were in town. No one told them. When they finally became aware, they would run out, and the supplies would already be gone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many Deaf also lack information about the spiritual war raging around us because they cannot access the gospel in their heart sign language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
