Christians returning to their homes in Gaza have insisted they will not leave their homeland, while believers in Lebanon face an uncertain future.
There are ongoing tensions and uncertainties about the fragile pause in hostilities between Israel and Hamas. However, the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, in place since late November, seemed to be holding.
While hundreds are thought to have left Gaza and sought refuge elsewhere, Open Doors are reporting that about 600 of the 1,070 Christians who lived in the region before the conflict have stayed to rebuild.
