The UK government has recognised Palestine as a state. It is an important act of solidarity in a time when the reality for Palestinian families means that the dream of a viable Palestinian state seems more distant than ever.
“Amidst the utter devastation and destruction we’re witnessing in Gaza and settlements in the West Bank increasing exponentially […] the recognition of Palestine by the UK is an important act of solidarity in support of a political path to promoting rights, peace and security for all,” says Elizabeth Funnell, CAFOD’s Middle East country representative.
We are now calling for the UK government to ensure that recognising Palestine as a state is accompanied by urgent, concrete action.
Millions of people have fled their homes in search of safety. They urgently need shelter, food, healthcare and basic supplies.
Join us in prayer by adding your name as a sign of your prayers, which we will share in solidarity with our partners who are responding to this humanitarian crisis.
I once again call for an immediate end to the barbarity of this war and for a peaceful resolution to the conflict
Our work in Gaza is a testament to our unwavering commitment to the health and wellbeing of the community, even under the most difficult conditions
