We join with the Holy Father in expressing our concern about the “worrying and painful” situation in Gaza.
We support his appeal to “allow the entry of dignified humanitarian aid and to put an end to the hostilities, whose heartbreaking price is paid by the children, elderly, and the sick”, as well as the safe return of hostages...
