Let me give you an update on things in Gaza. Sabah, our lady who runs our programs, left with her husband to visit their children at the end of January.
They planned to return in March, but the virus hit and they couldn't travel back and our four pre-school closed. Our social worker was able to keep our medical program running until this month as the parish priest helped us to pay the pharmacy who gave the sick their medicines. After months of difficulties, this month a money transfer was done so that we can pay back the parish priest. We plan to keep our medical program going. The future is unknown as to whether the pre-schools will open or not. We have the funding to repair two homes still, yet much will depend on if Sabah can return soon. Today she and her husband are at the border now waiting with 5,000 other people to get across to get home. Please pray with us that they can get in. This is the situation. We sisters and brothers have not been able to go down to visit since January as the borders have been closed as well as the other restrictions due to the virus. We have kept in contact by phone and email.
Our friends and benefactors who read our website please keep us in prayer, so that we can even accomplish more once Sabah is able to return. Poverty is evident more and more as the pandemic effects the economy.
