On a day of more cautious optimism than we’ve witnessed for a while in Gaza, this news is a reminder that the wider situation for Palestinians remains unchanged. A real and lasting peace will also need to address inequalities and occupation in the West Bank.

The cautious relief evoked by the news of a ceasefire deal for Gaza has been immediately shattered by news today that following a court appearance, Layan Nasir has been taken immediately to prison. Layan and her family must now endure a further eight months of suffering.

The Gaza Famine is the world’s famine. A preventable, predictable famine. 

Enough. Ceasefire. Open all crossings, north and south. Let us get food in, unimpeded and at massive scale.


A start… this now needs to be sustained and expanded.

We give thanks that food aid is starting to trickle into Gaza. But this trickle needs to become a sustained torrent to have any hope of alleviating the disastrous consequences of months of starvation. Please continue to support the #FastForGaza campaign: embraceme.org/fast-for-gaza

Powerful stories, glimpses of more ordinary people caught up in this horror. 'The scale of what is happening in Gaza is hard to process, but at its heart is the travesty of small intimacies destroyed, moments of friendship, reconciliation, inspiration, enjoyed over coffee.'

The Al Baqa Cafe, #Gaza was more than just a place to get a coffee. People went there for inspiration too. For artists, athletes, everyone it was an incubator of normality and creativity in war. Then it was hit by an Israeli missile. channel4.com/news/the-stori…

From 1500 Christian families in Gaza before the war, now only 350-400 left. The devotion of these wonderful Christian people humbles us, even as they deal with almost immeasurable grief. May they know the Easter gift deep in their hearts. And may this savage, wicked violence end.

“We are not celebrating like the rest of Palestinian cities or the rest of the world. There are very sad vibes in Gaza.” Palestinian Christians attended a Good Friday mass held at the Greek Orthodox church of Saint Porphyrius in Gaza City



Aid in and hostages out. Neither should ever be used as bargaining chips.

Israel’s decision to halt aid into Gaza is alarming. International humanitarian law is clear: We must be allowed access to deliver vital lifesaving aid.  We can’t roll back the progress of the past 42 days. We need to get aid in and the hostages out.  The ceasefire must hold.



Gen Lord Richard Dannatt, has called on the government to boost its defence spending above the 2.5% GDP target, and calls Starmer’s cut to aid budget a ‘strategic mistake’. We can make an increase, but not like this… #aidcuts theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
