Friends hear from Gaza

'We want to give voice to those who are affected – to hear their stories and let them know the world has not forgotten them.’

Quakers came together online last week to hear the voices of people affected by the bombing in Gaza and the West Bank. The webinar called ‘Hearing from Gaza and the West Bank’, hosted on 27 May by the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI) team, included Azzam from Gaza, a former consultant for Christian Aid who now works for Norwegian Church Aid. Jomana, a translator and teacher, who lives in a university city in the northern West Bank, also described the situation in the area.
