Appeals for aid for Gaza 
Tens of thousands of people in Gaza urgently need help, following this summer’s escalating violence in the region.   Various UK Christian relief agencies have responded with appeals for money so that they can send essential relief into the area.    If you would like to donate towards this cause Christian Aid is providing relief to the Palestinian Medical Relief Society which runs clinics in Gaza, and also to the Agricultural Development Association, which helps fishermen and farmers in Gaza. www.christianaid.org.uk

Janet Symes, Christian Aid Head of Middle East said:  “The horrific escalation of violence in the region means the levels of need on the ground will continue to rise at a dramatic rate.  The current crisis is a result of decades of political failure. Without genuine dialogue and a determination from all sides to achieve a just peace, Palestinians and Israelis will be destined to live through the horrors of violence again and again.”
