Palestinians in the Holy Family Church, now a shelter for hundreds of displaced people in Gaza, celebrated Easter in the dark, March 2024
Sept. 2, 2025 - Yesterday, the Latin and Greek Orthodox Patriarchates of Jerusalem released a joint statement, condemning Israel’s orders for Palestinians to flee Gaza City as Israeli forces invade and assault it from every direction. The Patriarchates called this evacuation order a “death sentence” for those in the city who are forced to choose whether to remain in the city or risk evacuating south, where displaced people continue to be targeted by airstrikes in tents within Israeli prescribed so-called “safe zones”.
The joint message declared that the two compounds belonging to these churches, St. Porphyrius and Holy Family, have become shelters for hundreds of forcibly displaced Palestinians in the last two years. They declared that their clergy members serving and supporting these families will not leave the compounds and will continue to care for those who stay there.
