Compassion for ceasefire in Gaza

SINCE the Israel-Hamas war broke out on Oct 7, 2023, the unimaginable sufferings of the people of Palestine and innocent lives on both sides of the divide continues. It has been reported that in the past 25 days of fighting, the Palestinian death toll had gone above 9,000 including 3,700 Palestinian children.

Without doubt, the state of Israel cannot be allowed to continue with its deadly attacks on Gaza. Many nations and people, including Jews, all over the world are calling for an immediate ceasefire. The loss of lives of innocent civilians, children and women included cannot be excused under the label of “collateral damage”. Every innocent life matter. Our hearts cry out.
