The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops requested prayers and financial support for families in Gaza who are enduring conditions of catastrophic collapse as hostilities escalate and basic elements for survival vanish.
Reports indicate that death from starvation and severe malnutrition has been rising daily. Families and civilians are grappling with death, injury, forced displacement and deep psychological trauma in the war-torn region.
Anyone who would like to provide financial support to families in urgent need of assistance may do so online via Catholic Relief Services (CRS), the official international relief agency of the Catholic Church. CRS provides critical support to devastated communities.
