# Catholic and Greek Orthodox priests and nuns will remain in Gaza City despite Israel’s plan for a military takeover. The religious communities said in a joint statement evacuation orders were already in place for several neighbourhoods in Gaza City. Hundreds of displaced people have taken shelter in the Greek Orthodox compound of Saint Porphyrius and the Catholic Holy Family compound since the outbreak of the war, including children and those with special needs. Stray Israeli fire hit the Holy Family church last month, killing three people and wounding ten others.
