Following the ceasefire in Gaza, your support is needed more than ever.
Throughout the conflict, our trusted Church partners continued to give families in Gaza practical help, despite the risks. Now, they will be able to reach even more of our neighbours with emergency food, shelter, medical care and mental health support.
Within the last few days alone, our partner, Caritas Jerusalem has delivered 10,000 cans of baby formula to families with newborns and young children who had been struggling to feed them during the conflict.
Your parish's support will mean these brave teams can scale up their work and help more of our neighbours.
Please share this notice with your parish - it includes an update on our response in Gaza following the ceasefire, and details on how parishioners can give to our Middle East Humanitarian Appeal.
