A total of 30 Christians have lost their lives because of the conflict in Gaza, according to Church sources.
Out of about 1,000 Christians remaining, 19 were killed by military action and 11 died because of a lack of medical care in the four months since the war began.
Two women were shot dead by sniper fire at the Holy Family Catholic Church, Gaza City last December.
At the parish, a priest and seven religious Sisters have been looking after 560 Christians – including 140 children and 84 people over the age of 65.
