As the Israel-Hamas conflict persists, the Christian community in Gaza faces threats of extinction and celebrates Easter in challenging conditions without electricity and amid ongoing bombardment. Despite the hostile environment, some Christians in Jerusalem and Gaza hold Easter services, with the Catholic community in Gaza marking the occasion in a somber manner, sheltering displaced individuals within the church's compound. The situation is dire, with reports of Israeli airstrikes near churches and snipers targeting worshippers, yet the resilient Palestinian Christians continue to observe their faith amidst adversity.
