About the event
We will welcome Nader Abuamsha, Chief Executive of DSPR (The Department of Service to Palestinian Refugees), as our speaker. DSPR emerged from the Middle East Council of Churches in 1948. This ecumenical group of clergy and lay people tended to the trauma of over 726,000 Palestinian refugees from the first Arab-Israeli war. DSPR eventually evolved into five Area Committees one each in Jerusalem and West Bank; Jordan; Lebanon; Galilee and the Gaza Strip. DSPR have been very active in supporting staff and projects in Gaza since 7 October. SIGN UP HERE
