We are honoured to welcome two incredible speakers who will share their experiences and perspectives:

We believe this event will not only broaden our understanding of these complex issues but also inspire us to consider how we can support peace-building efforts and those affected by these conflicts.

Safa Hijazeen, Tearfund’s Regional Director for the Middle East, said: “The humanitarian suffering in Gaza and across the Middle East is greater than ever. Tearfund’s church partners are doing their best to respond across the region, working in very difficult circumstances”
