Entering into the third week of war.

I introduced you yesterday to Mo’een. Today he called my husband. He said that he has hardly been out of the house since the war started. The situation is very difficult with lack of almost everything. He said that to his luck he had bought a sac of flour before all this started and that it keeps them from starving, but he tells his kids to eat slowly…..
He also said that he can see the Israeli soldiers as they walk the streets outside his house, but that he is not afraid of them. What he fears, however, is that Hamas will bring launchers to shoot from into their quarter in order to fire rockets and that Israel will fire back. He asked my husband to help him load his Israeli cell phone with “talk time” which he of course did.

The most difficult thing for us now is that there is no way that we can offer any practical help. We know that lots of civilians are suffering, but we cannot get to them. The only thing we can do is to pray for Mo’een’s sac of flour not to get empty, and that Hamas will stay away from his house.Please join us in that prayer….

  1. Interresting to read, Elin! WE follow the situation day by day here in Norway. But as you know, the media is fokusing on the Palestinian side. (Except for TV Visjon Norge).
    In the rally on thursday, in support FOR Israel, the media focus was turned to the pro-palestinian supporters. Nothing of the content of the rally was broadcasted, except for a couple of sentenses from Siv Jensens speech.
    Visjon Norge dedicated one hour of Studio Direkt to the rally. The Christian Embassy participated, and we showed some of every speecher. You can see the movie on www.visjonnorge.no
    We stand by you, and pray for you, your family, the Israeli people and soldiers, and for the palistinian civilians.
    God bless you all.
