In the midst of severe bombardment and conflict in Gaza, Pope Francis has been a source of hope for Palestinian Christians sheltered in the Holy Family parish. He has made daily phone calls to check on their well-being, highlighting his commitment to their plight. George Anton and Gabriel Romanelli have both shared their experiences of these calls, emphasizing how the Pope reached out even under challenging circumstances. Currently, about 500 displaced individuals are seeking refuge at the Holy Family church compound, which also supports people with special needs.
Pope Francis stayed in constant contact. He made every effort to reach each of us by phone," George Anton, who is sheltering with his family in the compound, told DW.
He called us daily, even on the darkest days, under bombardment... The communication was constant, day and night," said Gabriel Romanelli, the Argentinian priest.
