Two hundred Christian leaders from around the world are calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Embrace the Middle East, which partners with Christians in the Middle East, has been at the forefront of the call, made in a joint letter. The organisation has called for world powers to do more to bring about a lasting peace in the region.

The letter, which was signed by 25 leaders from the UK, said that the writers ‘abhor the ongoing violence’ which has now lasted for over nine months, and that ‘these atrocities stain the conscience of all humanity, and in this, we include ourselves as Christian leaders and the global church.’
