It is now 87 days of massacres and death. Over 21,000 Palestinians have been killed and over 54,000 injured in Gaza which the head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Philippe Lazzarini, has described the situation as “hell on earth”. Many more lives are likely to die due to being trapped under the rubble, infected with diseases, starvation, and more. Gaza is now The world’s most dangerous place to be a child according to UNICEF Spokesperson James Elder.
• God of life, every soul that has been killed in Gaza you have breathed into their nostrils the breath of life. As the situation is described as “hell on earth” may we be witnesses to your heavenly kingdom through our actions. Lord, equip us with your love to be agents of liberation, justice, and peace. May every soul that has perished and every tear shed bear witness to the evil of oppression and create in us a fierce fire to overcome evil with healing justice.
Lord in your mercy… hear our prayer
