Seeing the crowds, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and downcast, like sheep without a shepherd.
- Matthew 9:36

As the world's gaze has shifted to other conflicts such as Iran, pray that the misery of those living in Gaza will not be sidelined but that momentum for reaching merciful and just solutions will arise.
A Christian mother and her daughter were among 5 killed in an Israeli air strike on a residential building in Gaza city on October 3rd, 2026. In spite of a so-called "ceasefire", Gazans are being targeted and killed on a daily basis. Pray for protection of the thousands of non-combatants who are forced to live in the target zone, including the small Christian community.
As summer draws to an end, pray for the many Gazans sheltering in flood-prone areas. Pray for provision of weather-proof tents for the hundreds of thousands of displaced men, women, children and elderly.
On 16 September 2026 a building collapsed while 100 people were living in it. Pray for the provision of shelter for the many thousands of families living in unsafe, damaged structures.
These prayer points will change and be updated periodically. Last update: October 6th, 2026
