Eyewitness stories from Palestine and Israel
The British Quakers who manage the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel for people in the UK and Ireland have just published a new website www.eyewitnessblogs.com This gives accounts written by recently returned Ecumenical Accompaniers, together with highlights of issues related to the occupation of the West Bank and material relating to the history of the region. This will be a valuable resource for anyone who wants up-to-date information from the region.
It is hoped that Ecumenical Accompaniers will soon be returning to live with vulnerable communities in the West Bank after the disruption to the EAPPI programme caused by the Covid epidemic.
