GAZA STRIP: People living in Gaza are cautiously optimistic about news of a short break in fighting to let aid into the area, but many believe this relief should lead to a bigger, long-term solution for the worsening crisis. For several months, the over two million residents of Gaza have struggled with severe shortages of food, clean water, and essential medical supplies as constant attacks and closed borders have halted daily life. While attempts to establish a wider ceasefire appear to be failing, the people of Gaza feel stuck between hope and despair—grateful for any assistance but longing for lasting peace.
- Lord, we pray that the temporary breaks in fighting lead to effective and sustained aid deliveries, ensuring that the people of Gaza receive the food, clean water, and medical supplies they desperately need to survive in these challenging times (The Holy Bible, Ephesians 4:32).
- Lord, we pray for a long-term resolution to the conflict that not only ends the fighting but also addresses the underlying issues contributing to the ongoing crisis, bringing about true peace, stability, and reconciliation for the people of Gaza (The Holy Bible, Ephesians 2:14).
