Just one day after the ceasefire went into effect, Israeli forces shot and killed a 15-year-old Palestinian child in southern Gaza. His name is Zakariya Hameed Yahya Barbakh. When someone attempted to retrieve his lifeless body, they too were met with bullets. He is one of two Palestinian children killed on the first day after ceasefire.
God of Justice, have mercy on the family of Zakariya and comfort them as they mourn. Lord, help us keep our eyes on Gaza amidst this fragile ceasefire, and humble the arrogant who believe they can act with impunity against international law and human rights.
Lord in your mercy…hear our prayer
