In this Saturday, July 19, 2014 photo, displaced Christians who fled the violence in Mosul, pray at Mar Aframa church in the town of Qaraqoush on the outskirts of Mosul. Iraq was home to an estimated 1 million Christians before the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein. Since then, militants have frequently targeted Christians across the country, bombing their churches and killing clergymen. Under such pressures, many Christians have left the country. Church officials now put the community at around 450,000. (AP Photo)

Palestinians mourners pray over the lifeless bodies of nine Palestinians killed in an early morning Israeli missile strike, at Bilal mosque during their funeral in the Khan Younis refugee camp, southern Gaza Strip, Saturday, July 19, 2014. Even as the death toll mounts in the Gaza Strip, attempts to broker a cease-fire between Hamas and Israel have so far run aground, in part because they have become mired in the deep schism between Mideast countries.
