Thanks to ACT member Finn Church Aid providing school supplies to Ishimwe, he feels “motivated to fight hard to achieve my dream, even though I thought I had lost it all.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/d4WyWFqc #StoriesofHope #HopeinAction #actassembly2024

“There has never been a genocide in history covered 24/7 like what is happening in Gaza. No one can claim, ‘I did not know,’” said a participant. “We are currently like Germany in the late 1930s and 1940s. We hide behind the word ‘complexities’ to avoid facing the truth. This moral struggle is not only about Palestine; it’s about the dilemma of remaining human.” A report from the digital solidarity visit to the Holy Land with Caritas Internationalis and The World Council of Churches 👇 https://lnkd.in/dgvTeMRF

The leadership of ACT Alliance, the World Council of Churches and Caritas Internationalis had planned a solidarity visit to Jerusalem, the West Bank, and #Gaza from 5-9 of August to witness the humanitarian, psychological and social impact of the ongoing war. However, recent events in the region have forced the organisations to postpone their travels. Our General Secretary Rudelmar Bueno de Faria (He/his) participated in a two-day digital solidarity visit that was organised to show support to our members, churches, doctors, humanitarians and residents who are facing the devastating impacts of the war. In a meeting with medical doctors, Rudelmar said, "We are deeply distressed by the hardships of the medical doctors and residents of #Gaza and stand in solidarity with them. We are particularly concerned with their limited access to essential medical services and medicines, the environmental degradation, and the emergence of new diseases. We urgently call for a #ceasefire." #humanitarian access, and justice for Gaza,
