As conflict between Israel and Hamas continues in Gaza, there are an estimated 600 Christians remaining in the territory attempting to salvage what is left of their homes and to encourage one another.

In a recent interview with Open Doors, a Christian man, who preferred to remain anonymous, described what daily life is like for believers who remain in the region, with most living in tents under the shelter of church buildings and struggling to acquire basic necessities.

He described people’s spirits as “crushed” amidst the seemingly never-ending war, with “no sense of safety” anywhere in the strip, and fear in the streets, where you can barely move around because of the number of tents, which have replaced actual homes.
