FAST FOR GAZA

In May, as starvation spread across Gaza, Christians around the world took up the call from our Christian sisters and brothers in Jerusalem to spend a day in prayer and fasting for Gaza to raise awareness of the critical food shortages there and urge world leaders to take action. Although a ceasefire is now in place, we still need to raise our voices to ensure that critical aid gets in and that the ceasefire becomes permanent.

Food aid is now coming into Gaza but we need it to be sustained and in large enough quantities to alleviate the disastrous consequences of war and starvation. The ceasefire must become permanent and long-term humanitarian support, reconstruction assistance, and access to both physical and mental healthcare are essential.

The official Fast For Gaza campaign has now ended, but please continue to take action to help ensure the citizens of Gaza get the food and essential support they still desperately need. You can do so through a dedicated day of prayer and fasting, by raising awareness on social media, or by writing to the Foreign Secretary.

You can also give a donation to our Gaza Crisis Appeal to support the work of our Christian partners in the Gaza, who are continuing to provide vital healthcare services and humanitarian support across the strip.
