Gaza, remembered

Updated 19 November 2025

On 4 November I, together with a few other Quakers, attended a service at St Martin-in-the-Fields in London organised by the British Palestinian Families Network. Its purpose was to ensure that what has happened in Gaza over the last two years will not be forgotten; and to start to shift attention towards what next.Representatives of many faiths and none were present, and speakers included Sam Wells (the vicar of St Martin's); Husam Zomlot, the Palestinian Ambassador to London; Layla Moran (the first British MP of Palestinian heritage); Sayeeda Warsi, baroness; Frank Dabba Smith, lecturer on the Holocaust at Leo Baeck College; and Rehena Harilall, from the Plum Village Buddhist community. We heard music and poems, including from bereaved family members and children. We saw pictures. Together we prayed for the future.
