Aid to the Church in Need continues to follow the situation in the Holy Land closely, particularly the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The Church of the Holy Family is the only Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip and has become a refuge centre for many Christians who have fled the bombings, especially after the bombing of the nearby Orthodox Church when over 200 additional Christians moved to the Catholic parish. Fr Gabriel Romanelli has been the parish priest in Gaza for the past four years.
According to Fr Gabriel Romanelli in an interview on the 24th of October, “There are over 1,500 people trapped under the rubble, including 800 children”. “We are living like the first Christians, sharing and helping everyone”.
