Pray with Sabeel - Al-Shifa Hospital


The Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center in Jerusalem writes:

Last week, The Israeli military withdrew from the Gaza Strip's largest hospital after a two-week raid, leaving behind scenes of devastation. Local sources who have witnessed atrocities for more than 180 days remark that the scenes at Al-Shifa Hospital are "indescribable". Indeed, photos, videos, eyewitness stories reveal torture, killings and destruction that cannot be imagined. It is unclear what is the death toll since bodies are unidentifiable, however, Gaza's civil defense agency claim at least 300 Palestinians were killed in and around the hospital. Al-Shifa is completely out of service.

- God of healing (shifa), how much more death, destruction, and torture can our people take? How many Palestinian lives need to be killed for the world to respond? Why do you not stop this O Lord? Man of sorrows, help us be witnesses to your love and the suffering of the oppressed even though it is hard to see if you are with us "For we walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7).

Lord in your mercy… hear our prayer
