We pray for the serious humanitarian situation in Somalia and the
3.2 million Somalis in urban and rural areas facing extreme poverty due to
drought and high food prices. We pray for the Somali government and
international agencies to respond adequately with a sustainable plan for
humanitarian assistance.
We pray for the talks held in Cairo this week between the Hamas
delegation and Egyptian officials towards ending the Hamas-Fatah power
struggle. We pray that this meeting will serve as a significant step towards
Palestinian national reconciliation.
We pray for the olive harvest that begins this week and continues
through November. In light of assaults in previous years on Palestinian
farmers, we pray for the protection of all Palestinians and international
volunteers who will be participating in the harvest.
We pray for the meetings held this week in Netherlands organized
by Pax Christi, between the delegation of Palestinian leaders and political and
church leaders in Netherlands. We pray for the meetings to be a fruitful
opportunity to garner religious and political support for ending the
occupation.
