The only Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip is short of food, water and electricity.
According to the Administrator General of the Latin Patriarchate in Jerusalem, Sami al-Yousef, the only Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip is in need. “The water tanks on the roof were destroyed, as were the solar panels. The fuel was consumed so that it is almost impossible to generate electricity and provide a minimum of stable communications,” al-Yousef reported.
Bread is baked every other day
According to the Italian Catholic agency SIR, about 600 people took shelter before the attacks at the “Church of the Holy Family” in Gaza. In addition to the church, the parish also has a school, a kindergarten, three convents and two care homes for disabled and older children, as well as various parish facilities. The parish belongs to the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem. The Administrator General warns: “The supply of flour is also running out, so bread is only baked every other day if conditions allow.” There is also a shortage of other food, water and medicines.
“What is the world waiting for?”
The situation is made worse by the fact that no one is allowed to leave or approach the parish for security reasons. “The US veto of the UN Security Council resolution calling for a humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and describing the humanitarian situation as ‘catastrophic’ is another drop in the ocean,” noted al- Yousef and added: “What is the world waiting for? ?”
Al-Yousef also noted that the text of the resolution submitted by the UAE also calls for the protection of civilians and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages still held by Hamas. Last weekend, the US blocked a resolution in the UN Security Council on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. The text did not condemn Hamas’ violence or recognize Israel’s right to self-defense.
