CWN Editor's Note: Father Gabriel Romanelli, I.V.E., the pastor of Gaza’s sole Catholic parish, told Aid to the Church in Need that the situation there is “more terrible and unlivable every day. Words are no longer enough to describe it.”
In recent flooding, “families have lost the little they still had to eat and sleep,” he said. As winter approaches, “heating is impossible, unthinkable.”
Auxiliary Bishop William Shomali of Jerusalem added that “many families pray by the light of flashlights or candles,” and that “no place in the Gaza Strip is considered safe.”
