Pope Francis calls for humanitarian corridors in Gaza
Pope Francis on Sunday called for humanitarian corridors to help those under siege in Gaza and again appealed for the release of hostages held by the militant Islamist group Hamas.
'I forcefully ask that children, the sick, the elderly and women, and all civilians do not become the victims of the conflict,' he said at his weekly address to thousands of people in St. Peter's square.
'May humanitarian rights be respected, above all in Gaza, where it is urgent and necessary to guarantee humanitarian corridors to help the entire population,' he said.
