Bishop Ian writes:
We have been praying and working for the war in Gaza to end, for aid to reach its people, and for the hostages to be released. There is at last a temporary ceasefire, and we pray for it to become permanent.
Now is the time for reconstruction in Gaza. There is a desperate need for the rebuilding of ruined hospitals and communities. USPG is working with the Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem and the Middle East, to support the work of reconstruction and to give medical aid.
Please support my Bishop’s Lent Appeal, and through it the USPG Lent Appeal, as generously and sacrificially as you can. Your donation will enable people in Gaza to rebuild hope.
Sawson Aranki-Batato, Programme Developer, Diocese of Jerusalem, writes:
Your generosity helps hospitals and clinics continue their life-saving mission by:
• Supplying essential medicines and medical equipment
• Providing emergency care for those injured in the conflict
• Offering maternal and paediatric care to families in need
• Supporting staff who work tirelessly in overwhelming conditions
Every donation not only sustains lives but affirms that compassion knows no borders.
