Evangelical Alliance Commends Ceasefire
The Evangelical Alliance has welcomed the ceasefire in the Middle East as Israel begins its withdrawal of troops from southern Lebanon.
"This is the time for peacemakers and peacekeepers to redouble their efforts to maintain a just and lasting peace in the region," it says.
"Now that the ceasefire has been agreed, reconstruction will undoubtedly be costly.
"We welcome Hilary Benn's announcement of a further £6 million in aid to help with the reconstruction process."
