[Today's Prayer] "Even within Israel, 'Conclusion that Gaza Strip Hunger at Dangerous Level'"

Israel, which has dismissed the possibility of a famine crisis in the Gaza Strip, has reportedly concluded internally that Gaza residents could face widespread starvation within a few weeks.

The New York Times (NYT), an American daily newspaper, reported on the 13th (local time) that some officers in the Ministry of Defense have judged that hunger in the Gaza Strip has reached a dangerous level, citing Israeli Defense Ministry officials.

These officers, who have been monitoring the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, recently warned their commanders that if the food blockade is not lifted within a few weeks, residents in many areas will not be able to consume even the minimum daily nutritional requirements.

The officers also reported that since it will take time to expand the scale of humanitarian assistance, a supply system to prevent starvation needs to be activated immediately.

Accordingly, the military leadership has acknowledged the seriousness of the situation and is seeking ways to resume the inflow of relief supplies, officials said.

The Israeli military has been blocking all relief supplies to the Gaza Strip for over two months since the first phase of the ceasefire with Hamas ended without any results and the war resumed in early March.

I cried to him with my mouth and praised him with my tongue. If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. But God has indeed heard; he has inclined his ear to the voice of my prayer. Praise be to God, for he has not rejected my prayer, nor has he withheld his lovingkindness from me. (Psalm 66:17-20)

God, we hear that the food crisis in the Gaza Strip has reached a critical level and that a large-scale famine could occur.

Due to the ceaseless war, the number of poor residents who cannot even afford the minimum amount of food is increasing, and the souls of the Gaza Strip are suffering from poverty and hunger.

The hatred and unforgiveness between Israel and Palestine are getting worse.

God, who hears all their groans and prayers, the global church goes out to you on their behalf at this time, crying out.

First, please break the bonds of sin that have long bound Israel and Palestine. Please destroy the power of darkness that prevents them from becoming one.

We believe that the Lord will not reject the prayers of Israel and Palestine, but will work more greatly than what the people of Israel and Palestine ask for.

With the love of Jesus, who loves Israel and Palestine without change, please facilitate between the two peoples at this time.

Please save the souls of the Gaza Strip who are suffering from hunger. May the salvation of Jesus, who is the life that will never starve, come to the Palestinian people.

May all poverty and famine end, and may the name of Yeshua, who is worthy of eternal praise, be exalted among the Palestinian people.

In particular, may God the Father, who looks upon Israel and Palestine, pour out His heart upon the global church, so that the global church may never cease praying for the peace and rule of the true Jesus Christ.

May the local churches in Israel and Palestine unite the people of Israel and Palestine, and may they become a people who praise the Lord with one heart and one voice and serve only the Lord.

May they rise up as a people who can take on the final revival!

May they rise up as a people who proclaim to all people the God who answers prayers and works!
