GAZA STRIP: Gaza is facing a health “disaster” that will impact future generations, according to the director-general of the World Health Organization. Since a ceasefire with Hamas began on October 10, Israel has permitted more medical supplies and aid to enter Gaza. However, Dr. Tedros noted that these supplies are still not enough to restore the area’s healthcare system. People in Gaza have suffered from hunger, severe injuries, a failing healthcare system, and disease outbreaks caused by damaged water and sanitation facilities. When you mix hunger with widespread mental health issues, it creates a crisis that will affect generations ahead.
- Lord, we pray for the people of Gaza who are suffering from severe health crises, hunger, and mental health challenges. May they experience healing, comfort, and restoration as aid continues to reach them, and may their healthcare system be strengthened to provide for their needs (The Holy Bible, Psalm 147:3).
- Lord, we pray for lasting peace in the region and for the continued support of humanitarian efforts. May the needs of the vulnerable populations be met, and may communities come together to provide care, compassion, and hope for a better future (The Holy Bible, Joshua 1:9).
