In his speech on March 3, Pope Francis expressed that every day he carries “in his heart, with pain, the suffering of the populations in Palestine and Israel.”
“The thousands of dead, injured, displaced, the images of destruction cause pain, and this has tremendous consequences for the little ones and the defenseless, who see their future compromised,” he said.
Furthermore, the Pope recalled the urgency of the situation in Ukraine, where violence and loss of life continue to increase. Faced with this situation, he called on the international community not to forget the suffering of these people: “And, please, let us not forget the martyred Ukraine, where so many people die every day. “There is a lot of pain there.”
