Dispatch from Gaza: “We Expect Worse and Worse”

CRS Program Manager Sahar Shaat writes from Gaza:

We are OK , but we are still worried and expect worse and worse. The situation is more tense this time. Everything is sad and awful.

My parents and I live very close to the Palestinian-Egyptian border. We were forced to leave our home seeking peace and safety. We moved to my elder brother’s home, about 20 persons are taking shelter in a small apartment without electricity or cooking gas.

CRS maintains three offices in the West Bank (in Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Hebron) and one in Gaza City.
