CWN Editor's Note: Shrapnel from Israeli strikes on nearby buildings has damaged Gaza’s sole Catholic church and other parish buildings.

“Only a miracle prevented a big catastrophe from happening to us,” a local source told Aid to the Church in Need. The charity stated that the parish has run out of fuel and thus has no electricity.

Israeli strikes have also destroyed a Catholic school and dozens of Christian homes and have damaged a Christian hospital and a 12th-century Greek Orthodox church.
