Fairview Satellite: Gaza: Devastation, Despair and Destruction
The devastating conflict in Gaza has resulted in mass destruction in this tiny strip of desert land. With the near total destruction of infrastructure, most homes, schools, hospitals, mosques and churches, and with over 45,000 dead and 108,000 injured and thousands missing in the rubble, Israel has bombed Gaza back into the stone age. What does the future hold for Gaza, for Hamas, for the Palestinians, and for the Israelis?
Is there really any chance for reconstruction, recovery and peace? JES Scholar-in-Residence and Chairman of the Board of Trustees Dr. Baher Ghosheh will address these questions and more.
Location: Lincoln Community Center Library – 1255 Manchester Road, Erie, PA 16505
