An EAPPI pilot project, the Christian Accompaniment Programme, has been underway since March with eight participants seconded by Danchurchaid and Icelandic Church Aid. The accompaniers have been regularly reporting on violations of human rights, facilitating access for ambulances and health teams crossing military checkpoints, and escorting humanitarian convoys to the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The team is on a six-month mission; it will come under the EAPPI when this becomes operational in the summer. | |
