Presently, more than 700 homes of Christians have been destroyed and more than 90 churches vandalized. The death toll is unknown.

President of the All India Christian Council Joseph D'Souza is in the United States. In an interview with Mission Network News, he relays that the Christmas-related violence has stopped, "but not the tensions, not the threats. And security of the Christians is very, very poor.
