Commitment for Life — Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory

The Gaza and Lebanon Justice Appeal

The United Reformed Church is relaunching its Gaza appeal in support of emergency work being carried out. We are expanding the appeal to include Lebanon. The good news is that we are taking this action in partnership with the Methodist Church in Britain.

Commitment for Life – Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory

The persistent failure to secure a lasting solution to the conflict between the Israeli state and Palestinian people deepens inequality and poverty. Violence and despair persist. Christian Aid has been working with the poorest people in the region since the early 1950s.

Today it works with more than twenty Israeli and Palestinian organisations to protect human rights, access services, and build peace based on justice for all. Its development and humanitarian relief reaches Palestinians and Israelis; Jewish, Muslim, Christian and secular.

The latest report on inequality in Palestine and Israel, authored by Christian Aid’s William Bell, can be found here:
