Pope Leo XIV has appealed for a decent amount of humanitarian aid to be allowed into Gaza and for an end to hostilities.
The pope said that children, the elderly and the sick are paying a terrible price for hostilities.
"The situation in the Gaza Strip is increasingly worrying and difficult," the pope said during his regular Sunday general audience in St. Peter's Square, the first since his election, AFP reported.
His appeal came as the non-governmental organization Doctors Without Borders accused Israel of allowing "ridiculously insufficient" amounts of aid into Gaza compared to the needs in the territory, just to avoid being accused of starving the population, Radio Free Europe reports.
On May 11, the Pope already stated that he was deeply saddened by what was happening in Gaza and called for an immediate cessation of hostilities, the delivery of humanitarian aid to the beleaguered civilian population, and the release of all hostages, AFP reports.
