Quakers Australia has received a letter from Dr. Ramzi Khouri, Head of the Higher Presidential Committee of Churches Affairs in Palestine. This letter addresses the grave humanitarian situation in Gaza and calls for our awareness and action.
The ongoing crisis in Gaza has reached a critical level, and through Dr. Khouri’s correspondence, we are invited to understand more deeply the challenges faced by those in the region.
Excerpt: “We call on you to unite and intensify your efforts to defend Palestinian lives, whose dignity and very existence are under threat by Israeli policies of extermination, starvation, destruction and displacement. Your advocacy for justice and humanity is not only a defense of Palestinian rights but also a stand for the universal values that we must pass on to future generations.”
Presiding Clerk, Bruce Henry, has responded to the General Delegation of Palestine to Australia with a letter expressing our deep concern over the situation in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.
