A Christian service of remembrance for those who have died during the war in Gaza will be held at the Foreign Office in King Charles Street, London, SW1A 2AH, on Monday, 28 July, from 12.30pm -1.30pm

During our prayer, we will read out some of the names from a list of 50,000 people who are known to have died so far in Gaza, (many thousands more are missing under the rubble) - a name for each 28th day of the month since the war started.

The killings of so many are not just statistics. They are individuals with faces and names. The families of many have not been able to honour their dead with dignity. In a token way, through this short service, we try to honour them by telling some of their stories.

Organisations coming together to pray include the following: Westminster Justice and Peace, The London Catholic Worker, Pax Christi.
