The group says the victims were not evacuated until the next day, and two women required surgery. The outlet notes that witnesses and advocates have faced intimidation since the incident. The organization is calling for an investigation into the violence and for justice for the affected community.

Co-organized by several major Christian bodies, the event focused on the Korean Peninsula and global conflict zones. WCRC Executive Secretary Muna Nassar and Rev.

Nassar emphasized that peace must be a demand on the powerful, while Raheb urged churches to address the root causes of conflict in Palestine and the Global South. The gathering concluded with plans for a peace declaration and a pilgrimage to the Demilitarized Zone.
