\u201cThe water crisis in Palestine cannot be solved until there is justice. Water and justice issues are intertwined in my community,\u201d says Younan, bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land.<\/p>\n

The Seven Weeks for Water campaign in 2016 has special significance for him, as this year it focused on a pilgrimage of water justice in the Middle East, with specific reference to Palestine.<\/p>\n

Bishop Younan notes that Israel\u2019s occupation of Palestinian territories is a cause of injustice, because Israeli and Palestinian communities have vastly differing access to water.<\/p>\n
