In his Angelus address, Pope Leo XIV addressed the urgent need for peace and humanitarian aid amidst escalating violence in the Middle East, particularly between Israel and Iran and its impact on Gaza. He emphasized the suffering of innocent civilians and condemned war as a means to solve issues, highlighting its long-lasting detrimental effects on communities. The pontiff urged the international community to take moral action to prevent further tragedy and work towards lasting solutions.
War does not solve problems. On the contrary, it amplifies them and causes deep wounds in the history of peoples - wounds that take generations to heal.
In this dramatic scenario, which includes Israel and Palestine, the daily suffering of the population - especially in Gaza and other territories - risks being forgotten.
Humanity cries out and pleads for peace. The need for adequate humanitarian aid becomes ever more urgent amidst the ongoing conflicts.
The international community must act on moral grounds to stop the tragedy of war before it becomes an irreparable abyss.
