The first "Bethlehem Carol Sheet" from 1956! Still going strong at @FollowEmbrace today and ready to be ordered here (slightly different design). Embrace recently began funding an emergency employment project in Bethlehem, among many other good causes shop.embraceme.org/bethlehem…

The Gaza Famine is the world’s famine. A preventable, predictable famine. 

Enough. Ceasefire. Open all crossings, north and south. Let us get food in, unimpeded and at massive scale.

We give thanks that food aid is starting to trickle into Gaza. But this trickle needs to become a sustained torrent to have any hope of alleviating the disastrous consequences of months of starvation. Please continue to support the #FastForGaza campaign: embraceme.org/fast-for-gaza

The Al Baqa Cafe, #Gaza was more than just a place to get a coffee. People went there for inspiration too. For artists, athletes, everyone it was an incubator of normality and creativity in war. Then it was hit by an Israeli missile. channel4.com/news/the-storie…

From 1500 Christian families in Gaza before the war, now only 350-400 left. The devotion of these wonderful Christian people humbles us, even as they deal with almost immeasurable grief. May they know the Easter gift deep in their hearts. And may this savage, wicked violence end.
“We are not celebrating like the rest of Palestinian cities or the rest of the world. There are very sad vibes in Gaza.” Palestinian Christians attended a Good Friday mass held at the Greek Orthodox church of Saint Porphyrius in Gaza City

With more than 40,000 killed in Gaza since the start of the war, we join with our friends at Christian Aid praying for ‘political leaders to take all necessary steps in support of a just and lasting peace’. #CeasefireNOW #gaza
40,000. Another milestone that should never have been reached. How many more lives will be lost to starvation, disease and airstrikes before our political leaders take all necessary steps in support of a just and lasting peace? #Gaza #CeasefireNOW

'With heartfelt thanks to Dr Ghassan and his colleagues at Al Ahli (our partner) for their courage, commitment, skill, and heroism in the face of the horrors he describes...'
“It has been a living nightmare, leaving 500 wounded knowing that there's nothing left for you to be able to do for them." A doctor in Gaza’s Al-Ahli Hospital speaks of the “most heartbreaking thing” he had to do after the hospital was forced to close.

John Casson, former British Ambassador to Egypt from 2014 to 2018, tells #R4Today 'there's a lack of breadth and realism in the political debate' around the Israel-Gaza war, and 'the government has a responsibility to set out a description of the exit from the cycle of violence'.
