Franciscan monks and the Custody of the Holy Land are struggling to keep Christian holy sites open amid the unfolding violence between Israel and Hamas.
"Our sanctuaries remain open for the time being, especially to allow the pilgrimages underway to be able to carry out their spiritual experience as well as possible," the Custody of the Holy Land wrote in a statement.

The Custody of the Holy Land maintains over 50 sanctuaries deemed holy due to their importance in the life of Jesus Christ or the history of the Christian religion.
