Death Toll in Syria Continues to Rise

The Times of Israel reports that UN Human Rights Chief, Navi Pillay, has said that “the number of people killed in Syria’s civil war is probably approaching 70,000.” This figure, provided by Pillay on February 12th, is sharply higher than the figure she provided only about six weeks ago of 60,000 dead. Pillay also said that the UN Security Council’s “deep division and inaction,” regarding the Syrian conflict “has been disastrous, and civilians on all sides have paid the price.” She called on the council to refer Syria to the International Criminal Court.

Please pray for those in Syria that have been caught in the midst of this conflict. Please pray especially for:

Those who have lost loved ones in this conflict
Those who have been displaced as refugees
Followers of Jesus Christ that are living in Syria or have fled the country

Please also pray for the leaders of the United States, of Israel, and of other nations to have wisdom in knowing how to act.

As I write this, it has been 32 hours since all the cell phones in Israel woke us up at 3 am with a very unusual message: We are in a State of Extreme National Emergency. Stay near a place of shelter. All gatherings, educational and work activities are cancelled until further notice. We were told to check that our bomb shelters were prepared and stocked with food and water.
