Gaza, Father Romanelli: ‘Order to evacuate parish neighbourhood’

Rome, August 18 (LaPresse) – "Life in Gaza is very difficult. An evacuation order has been issued for the entire neighborhood. They’ve started distributing tents. One might think ‘how nice,’ but this is actually part of a plan to evacuate all of Gaza City." These were the words of Father Gabriel Romanelli, parish priest of the Latin Church of the Holy Family in Gaza, shared on social media. In a video posted on YouTube, Father Romanelli questioned where the millions of residents could find shelter, and recounted how during Sunday Mass, "we heard a very loud explosion nearby that broke a water tank. Fortunately, no one was hurt, only material damage."
