ISRAEL AND PALESTINE PARTNERS
OUR WORK IN PALESTINE AND ISRAEL
Palestinians and Israelis live in a complex and protracted conflict that impacts their everyday lives. Aside from the threat of violence, the ongoing conflict affects access to healthcare, education, employment and other human rights.
Embrace works with Christians in Israel-Palestine, across the West Bank (including East Jerusalem), Israel and Gaza, to address the needs of their communities through providing both urgent aid and long-term support. Our partners in Israel-Palestine show the love of Christ by bringing people together to build relationships and advocate for a better future, providing medical care for those most in need, speaking up for the rights of people living with disabilities and their families and helping young people to access a better and more secure future.
Lara and her mother left the shelter of the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza, desperate to try to reach Lara’s ill brother in Egypt. It was a perilous journey - and one that would end in tragedy.
