The only Catholic Church in Gaza City: Italian Prime Minister Meloni calls Israeli attack ‘unacceptable’
It is about the church of the Holy Family in Gaza City. The previous Pope Francis maintained good contact with the parish, and even when his health status had deteriorated strongly with Romanelli, to ask how it went. According to Ansa, the priest was slightly injured on his leg.
Doctors at the Al-Ahliz Hospital in Gaza Stad report that two women were killed in the attack. The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, which includes the church in Gaza and that is led by Patriarch Pierbattista Pizzaballa, says it has no confirmation of fatalities.
“The attacks that Israel has been carrying out on the civilian population for months are unacceptable,” writes Italian Prime Minister Meloni on X.
The Palestinian Quds News Network posted a photo on Telegram showing the damaged church.
