Support Vulnerable Women in Gaza
Light up the world of Women in Gaza
Times have been dark for the whole world over the past two years. COVID-19 is no respecter of persons, borders or status, and it has upended the lives of millions of people.
During these difficult days, we can easily feel overwhelmed by life. We can feel anxious, unsure and insecure. In the midst of this, light brings hope. The great Christian hope is that God-in-Christ has come into the world, beginning a process of making all things new. Light has come into the world and the darkness has not overcome it.
The people of Gaza have also been experiencing darkness in the same part of the world that Jesus was born all those years ago. Living in the third most densely populated region in the world, with electricity on for only 6-8 hours per day, and 95 percent of the water undrinkable, makes for an extraordinarily difficult existence for them.
Our partner in Gaza, the Ahli Arab Hospital, continues to support women who have breast cancer. For women facing the possibility of a cancer prognosis, the Ahli Arab team are a beacon of light, helping them access early screening and supporting them to cope with the psychological distress if they have the disease.
Inspired by Jesus, Anglican Overseas Aid exists to shine a light in the darkness of poverty and injustice.
