The pontiff expressed his sadness over the “conflict in Palestine and Israel,” particularly as the fasting month of Ramadan came to an end.
“Let the ceasefire begin immediately in Gaza, where a humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding, and let aid reach the Palestinian people who are suffering greatly,” the Pope stated in his message.
“Enough, stop it! Please, stop the noise of weapons and think about the children, all children, as you think about your own children,” he added.
“They need homes, schools, and parks, not graves and trenches,” the Pope emphasized.
