Bethlehem in the West Bank is said to be the birthplace of Christ. It has poor sewerage, poor access to water and no hospital. No Christmas tree has been erected in Bethlehem’s Nativity Square. Church leaders have cancelled public Christmas celebrations in solidarity with the people of Gaza. One church in Bethlehem has depicted the Nativity scene thus: baby Jesus lying in rubble.
