Notes
Caritas Jerusalem represents the socio-pastoral services of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land and now serves more than 30,000 people in the occupied Palestinian territories. Founded in the aftermath of the 1967 War, it is a member of Caritas Internationalis, a confederation that challenges cultural, local, national, and international governance structures that undermine the ability to live sustainable and just lives.
