Jane Eesley (right) helps Amal Qumsieh and Ramzi Qubrosi divide food into portions to be distributed to hungry people in the Bethlehem area by the Shepherd Society, the outreach program of Bethlehem Bible College. The program received a solidarity grant from the United Methodist Committee on Relief, helping Palestinians cope with the economic effects of the Israeli war on Gaza, which has scared away the tourists who are the motor of Bethlehem's economy.
