The Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem and the Middle East, the Rt Rev Riah Abu El-Assal, has given a harrowing account of the daily suffering of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in the troubled West Bank and Gaza.
Bishop Riah painted a bleak picture of the daily humiliation, fear and hopelessness faced by many Palestinians, both Christian and Muslim, in the occupied West Bank and Gaza.
He criticised world leaders for "just standing afar" as the situation continues to deteriorate.
Save the Children recently warned that the freeze on aid and tax revenues, as well as the detention of PA ministers, were prompting a public health disaster and leading to a collapse in basic health and sanitation services, while the education system remains in chaos.
