Christian Aid prayers:
Gaza
Christian Aid have recently issued an update on the situation in Gaza and the help they are able to provide through their partners on the ground. I have included part of this, and the full report is in the church.
‘All our partner staff have been forcibly displaced from their homes and are living in either temporary shelters, or with host friends or family in cramped conditions and without adequate access to food, water, medicine and bedding. Many have lost friends, family or colleagues and are dealing with unimaginable grief. There is huge need, as people have been left with nothing. Daily bombardment is still incredibly intense and nowhere is safe.
Our health partner Palestinian Medical Relief Society (PMRS) have 30 teams on the ground operating in most areas of Gaza, including the north. Their teams have reached at least 363,000 people. PMRS have run a mobile health clinic which provides people access to a doctor, nurse, social worker, or physiotherapist. Due to the lack of fuel in Gaza access is limited, however in an incredible demonstration of strength, PMRS doctors have been reaching people by bicycle’.
