JAKARTA - Pope Leo denounced the "unquenchable" conditions facing Palestinians in Gaza while voicing solidarity with civilians. The Pope again called for a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas.
"I convey my deep sense of equity to the Palestinian people of Gaza, who continue to live in fear and survive in inevitable conditions, forced to leave their land again," the Pope said at a weekly general audience at the Vatican.
Israel is known to have started a massive ground offensive in Gaza City on Tuesday.
The military forced hundreds of thousands of people to flee their homes amid what residents called the toughest bombings in two years of war.
