” “"The situation in Gaza and Nablus is getting worse day by day". It is not only southern Lebanon and Galilee, where the war between the Hezbollah and the Israeli army is raging, that are worrying Caritas of Jerusalem, but also two of the main Palestinian cities that for a long time have been raided by Israeli servicemen, trying to free corporal Gilad Shalit. "23 first-aid kits have been handed out to a team of specialist doctors states Caritas in a release and another ten are being prepared. For the moment, 750 meal tickets are being given to the poorest families through the parish priest of Gaza, father Manuel Musallam. 3000 meals will be delivered next week by the leaders of the churches of Jerusalem. But it all depends on the possibility of having a permit to enter the Strip". In its release, Caritas of Jerusalem "invites the fighting parties to reject violence and do all they can to restore calm and order, and firmly condemns the killings, the aggressions, the detention of hostages and the attacks against civilians. The population it concludes wants justice and peace". ” “
