For the Odeh family in the West Bank, a simple drive home after Ramadan shopping ended in tragedy.
Ali Odeh and his wife Waad were killed alongside two of their young sons, Mohammed, 5, and Othman, 7, who was blind and had special needs, when their car was shot by Israeli forces during an operation in the town of Tamoun.
Two other children survived with injuries.
Behind every headline is a family, a mother, a father, a family.
Every child deserves to grow up safe. Every parent deserves the chance to protect their family.
Today we pray for the Odeh family.
We pray for peace, and we recommit ourselves to defending the dignity of every vulnerable life.
