Palestinian Christians Observe Palm Sunday with Prayers for an End to the War - UNICORN RIOT

Inside the sanctuary at the Holy Family Church in Gaza, Christians in the war-torn city observed Palm Sunday with gratitude for the chance to congregate but weary of the ongoing assault on the territory they call home.

Despite Israel and Hamas reaching a ceasefire agreement on October 10, 2025, Israeli attacks have continued to kill hundreds of civilians in Gaza. Now, nearly seven months after the fighting was supposed to have ended, Christians and Muslims alike struggle to observe their holy traditions while in the throes of war and grief. See our report and video from this year’s Ramadan in Gaza City.
