Prayers for Peacemakers,  14 March 2018   Lesvos

 

 

Pray for the safety of the 400 migrants who arrived on Lesvos last
week, and for the authorities to extend them the kindness and care they
need.  Migrants who come to the island
and are put in the Moria concentration camp do not receive the medical
treatment that people who have made such a difficult journey following severe
experiences of violence should get.

Pray for the migrants and inhabitants of islands who fell victim to the unfair
and unlawful deal between Turkey and the EU, which resulted in the heavy
militarisation of the artificial borders in the Aegean Sea. Thousands of migrants
and refugees are stranded in a situation of constant limbo because of the
EU-Turkey deal.

Pray for the participants in the Convergence of CPT-Europe that starts today on
Lesvos, so that they have clarity and wisdom to make right decisions.

The gates at the entrances of West Bank cities: division and daily hardship

Across the occupied West Bank including major cities like Hebron (Al-Khalil), Nablus, Ramallah, and many towns and villages, Israeli forces have significantly increased the installation of heavy metal gates and military checkpoints at entrances to Palestinian communities. These gates have become symbols of fragmentation, control, and hardship in the lives of ordinary Palestinians.
