Earlier in February, Fr Amer Jubran parish priest of the Latin-rite Catholic parish in Jenin, spoke to L'Osservatore Romano, about local residents' concerns for their situation and appealed for prayers. 

Fr Amer has been in contact with us, asking that we do not forget them and their 'difficult situation'. He told us that they have been surrounded by soldiers for almost 2 months and have a 'difficult life'.

He said 'I understand about Gaza but I hope you do not forget us.'
