THE GUARDIAN: Pontiff also speaks of anguish over Israeli strike on territory’s only Catholic church, which killed three people
Pope Leo XIV has condemned the “barbarity” of the war in Gaza and the “indiscriminate use of force” as Gaza’s health ministry said at least 73 Palestinians had been killed queueing for food.
The ministry said on Sunday that the victims had been killed in different locations, mostly in northern Gaza.
It said 67 of the dead had been killed by Israeli fire while waiting for UN aid trucks entering through the northern Zikim crossing with Israel. » | Jennifer Rankin and agencies | Sunday, July 20, 2025
