Gaza Strip

The current conflict marks the deadliest phase of violence for Palestinians since the establishment of Israel in 1948. The deadly coordinated attack on Israel by the Hamas in southern Israel snowballed into a full-scale war. The violence is spreading across the Palestinian territories with dangerous spillovers in the surrounding region.

Pray God’s intervention in the nation’s affairs ends Hamas’ evil intentions in Jesus’ Name (The Holy Bible, Exodus 14:13).

The Gaza Strip is a narrow piece of land on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea in the Middle East, bordered by Egypt to the southwest and Israel to the north and east. It is one of the most densely populated countries. Both political and militant Islamist group have been governing the state. Following its victory in the legislative elections the Islamist political and militant group Hamas gained control of Gaza. Both Israel and Egypt enforced blockade for Gaza soon after the takeover by Hamas. Those living in Gaza had to suffer hardship as they were denied of their rights. The blockade has caused severe damage and devastated the economy of the country. The country was termed as an open-air prison by the humanitarian rights organizations. Hamas militants made a blunder by invading Israeli borders with terror attacks killing hundreds of Israelites. This evoked an all-out war against Gaza by Israel. Rampant violence of extremism and terror activities have rendered life of Christian Believers dangerous in Gaza. Many thousands of people including children are killed and scores are wounded in the raging war.
