Leo XIV warns about the worrying and painful situation in Gaza

Pope Leo XIV pointed out that the situation in the Gaza Strip is increasingly worrisome in view of the continuous Israeli attacks. Which have already caused more than 53,000 deaths.

A report published on the Vatican News digital site indicates that, at the end of the first General Audience of his new Pontificate, held this morning in St. Peter’s Square before tens of thousands of faithful and pilgrims, the Supreme Pontiff demanded that “Enough of hostility!”

The Bishop of Rome made, to the Israeli government, a “sincere appeal to allow the entry of dignified humanitarian aid and to put an end to the hostilities. The heartbreaking price of which is paid by children, the elderly and the sick.”

The article highlights the fact that, at the end of this first general audience. The Holy Father emphasized the conflict in the Middle East, in particular in the Gaza Strip. “A territory that for a year and a half has become synonymous with death, violence, destruction and hunger.

Leo XIV returned “to stigmatize these acts of violence that hinder the achievement of a disarmed and disarming peace.” The document states, referring to the situation in an enclave that remains “currently besieged and devastated by the massive Israeli military operation underway.”

At noon last Sunday, after reciting the Regina Caeli at the end of the Mass at the beginning of his Pontificate. The Pope denounced that in Gaza “children, families and elderly survivors are reduced to hunger”.

Israel recently announced that it would allow 93 trucks to enter the Strip, but most of them are prevented from accessing distribution points. “An inadequate opening considering the enormous proportion of the tragedy.” With some 14,000 children who will die in the next 48 hours if that aid does not reach them, the note stressed.
