About that, CPA, together with another four local NGO Iraq Aid Association, White Birds Clerics Organisation, Catholic Organisation of Virgin Mary and Christian Refugee Council, – asked for help to the European Nations and international non-governmental organizations, "asking them to help the Christian communities, whose safety decreased, with lots of families without the necessary money to leave Iraq. We hope said Barini to achieve a quick solution. There are people dying because of their faith". This dramatic situation is also confirmed by Father Danilo Anuar, spokesman of the Catholic organization of Virgin Mary: “we try to maintain our religious faith and to continue our pastoral work, but a couple who had hosted a moment of prayer in their house was killed on October 23rd. Since then, we have been asking families to pray just in their houses, without letting their children out". According to CPA, the Christians left in Iraq are about 450 thousand, out of the 800 thousand estimated before the 2003 war.
