(CatholicVote) — The head of a US-based Catholic apostolate reported Aug. 14 that the Israeli military had bombed a warehouse in Gaza the day before where the organization had stored more than 4,000 cans of baby formula to be distributed later in the week.
“Two of my aid workers were killed in the bombing yesterday,” said Jason Jones, founder and president of the Vulnerable People Project (VPP). “We mourn them, and we will not forget their courage.”
The stated mission of VPP is to “defend the vulnerable from violence by promoting human dignity and inspiring solidarity,” an agenda Jones describes as an application of Catholic social teaching.
