The Anglican Church of Canada is horrified by Sunday’s missile attacks on Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza and heartbroken for the suffering of patients and employees who were forced to evacuate on very short notice. We join our partner, the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem, in condemning these attacks in the strongest terms. We continue our call for a full and sustained ceasefire, for the release of all captives, for the immediate flow of life-saving food, water, aid, fuel and humanitarian assistance for the millions of Gazans suffering at this time, for an end to all arms transfers to Israel, and the end of occupation. We pray for all who were injured or otherwise affected by these attacks and ask God that they feel the presence of the wounded but Risen Christ this Easter.

— Archbishop Anne Germond, Acting Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada
