Pope Francis called for respect for civilians in conflict areas this Sunday (28) and said that people are tired of wars, which he called a “disaster for people and a defeat for humanity”.
After the weekly Angelus prayer in St. Peter's Square, the pope said that humanitarian aid must be able to flow in Myanmar and that the population must also be respected in the Middle East, hit by the war between Israel and Hamas. He also mentioned the suffering of people in Ukraine.
Myanmar's military, which overthrew an elected government in 2021, has been battling an alliance of ethnic minority armies fighting to end control of their regions since late October.
Francis also said he learned “with relief” that a group of people, including six nuns, had been released in Haiti after nearly a week in captivity. Last week, he asked for his release.
