The Reality Of Survival In Gaza, On Spiritual Brewpub

As people of faith living in a land of relative prosperity, it’s hard for most of us to imagine what it’s like to be living in unrelenting crisis. Here, in conversation with Michael Camp at Spiritual Brewpub, I do my best to describe the indescribable: the situation in Gaza, and what my husband’s family is experiencing as they simply try to escape bombing and get something to eat.

The people of Gaza now face the possibility of death by bombing (unrelenting bombardment from Israeli warplanes), by exposure (85% of the population are displaced), by disease (drinking contaminated water, living in unhygienic conditions), and by starvation (Israel has created a literal famine). Survival is, sadly, not guaranteed.
