Christians living in Gaza City on Monday appealed to the international community to protect them against increased attacks by Muslim extremists. Many Christians said they were prepared to leave the Gaza Strip as soon as the border crossings are reopened. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The appeal came following a series of attacks on a Christian school and church in Gaza City over the past few days. <\/p>\n
