In a significant move towards bolstering support for the local community, Anton Asfar, the secretary general of Caritas Jerusalem, met with Mr. Hani Hayek, mayor of Beit Sahour, to discuss collaborative efforts aimed at enhancing humanitarian and development endeavors in the Beit Sahour area.

With a population of approximately 15,000 residents, this partnership holds great importance, particularly in addressing the needs of areas designated as area C, which are targeted by Caritas Jerusalem.

During the meeting, Mr. Anton Asfar extended congratulations to Mr. Hani Al Hayek on his recent appointment as minister of tourism and antiquities in the Palestinian Authority. This appointment opens new avenues for further dialogue and projects aimed at advancing the socio-economic landscape of the region.

Forthcoming projects and initiatives stemming from this promising collaboration between Caritas Jerusalem and Beit Sahour Municipality will be under way soon.
