Caritas Internationalis secretary general visits the Holy Land
Following his recent visit to the Holy Land to support local Caritas Jerusalem staff and volunteers, Alistair Dutton, Secretary General of Caritas Internationalis said, “It was intense and emotional. Caritas staff described their pain, frustration and powerlessness that they are not able to reach their colleagues or help the communities in Gaza. They have set up ‘call trees’ so that each person is responsible for keeping in touch with one or more colleagues in Gaza. They keep trying to get through but only about on in fifty calls connect and often the communications are down for hours at a time. In the meantime, they have no idea whether their colleagues are alive or not. One of the other things that people said was so stressful is that they have no idea what will happen next.” Read more: https://www.caritas.org/2023/11/carit...
