Questions & Answers
Q1
Partial Answer
▸
Context
The Christian community faces attacks by Israeli soldiers and settlers, as evidenced by recent incidents. The UK Government has begun issuing visas for critically injured Gazan children but only a few have been granted.
What support can the Church provide to not just Christian children, but all children in the Occupied Palestinian Territories who are in desperate need of medical evacuation?
There is no safe space for children in Gaza, where over 56,000 people have lost their lives, including more than 17,000 children. The Church has condemned the attacks on hospitals and civilians but must do more to be a voice for the voiceless, especially Gazan children.

Q2
Partial Answer
▸
Context
The town of Taybeh, a Christian community, faced violent attacks by extremist Israeli settlers recently. There is a pattern of such incidents leading to racial cleansing.
Will the Church of England call out this outrage every day of the week to put pressure on the Israeli Government?
If we are all going to be the hands and feet of Jesus, we have to speak out when we see such atrocities happen. We must be a voice for the voiceless, speaking out every day against what is happening in Gaza and across the occupied territories.
