UK Christians have prayed continuously for 700 hours about the crisis in the Middle East, as part of a prayer session organised by charities Tearfund and 24-7 Prayer, as conflicts continue in the region.

Tearfund asked people to pray for the situation as conflicts continue in Gaza and Lebanon, and tensions increase between Israel and Iran.

Safa Hijazeen, Tearfund’s Regional Director for the Middle East, said: ‘The humanitarian suffering in Gaza and across the Middle East is greater than ever so it’s vital that we’re praying for the region.
