It was Jesus who illuminated the house when the electricity was interrupted, Jesus illuminated the house with a candle. Thank God.
What can I tell you about the situation in Gaza?
I swear to God, I don't know what to say... What can I tell you?
It is our right, I should not be asking for this, because it should be my right.
They are Christians, truly! This means that they prefer to lose their lives rather than their faith.
A little girl came to me and said: why was our school damaged during the war? She added: my class is gone, everything has been destroyed.
That made me cry. The girl was also upset by the destruction of her school.
I think and, first of all, I see, fatigue. It is difficult to find work, it is difficult to give hope for the future to our young people because they ask many questions about their future, about their work, about their family.
I understand them because things that are normal in other countries like moving, going from one place to another, become difficult in Palestine. Sometimes it takes weeks to travel a few miles, because of the need for permits and other things.
I feel like I'm in custody and there's no place for me to go. If I want to go out, I can't because everything is closed, everywhere. We can't go or come. We all live in a big prison.
