Pope Leo XIV asks the end of the Israel-Ahamas War in Gaza and

Pope Leo XIV on Wednesday requested enough humanitarian aid to be allowed Gaza devastated by warwhere humanitarian agencies say that a total blockade has caused a critical shortage of food and medicines. Israel, under a massive pressure from the United States and other allies, began to Allow more help to gaza this weekbut it has not relieved its military operations, and help agencies say that the amount of humanitarian goods that enter the strip is not close enough to meet the urgent needs of a battered civilian population.

The United Nations announced on Monday that it had been authorized to send help for the first time since Israel imposed a total blockade on March 2, which caused a serious shortage of food and medicine.

“The situation in Gaza’s strip is worrying and painful,” said the Pope during his first weekly general audience in the Plaza de San Pedro. “I renew my sincere attraction to allow the entry of sufficient humanitarian aid and put an end to hostilities, whose heartbreaking price pays children, the elderly, the sick.”

Leo, who was chosen on May 8 to be The first Pope of the Catholic Church in the United StatesHe has made peace an early issue of his papacy, asking for a high fire in the Israel-Ahamas War.

The Israeli army has intensified its offensive in Gaza in recent days, with the Ministry of Health, led by Hamas del Enclave, saying that some 600 people have been killed only during the last week. Israel says that both aid restrictions and the intensified military campaign are destined to press Hamas, designated for a long time as a terrorist group by the United States and Israel, to free the remaining 58 hostages in Gaza and accept a high fire in Israeli terms.

Israel has promised to continue its war until hostages, about 20 of which are believed to be alive, are free, Hamas is defeated and unarmed and their leaders are sent into exile. The war was caused by the terrorist attack led by Hamas, on October 7, 2023, against Israel, which killed some 1,200 people and saw 251 taken as hostages in Gaza.

The Ministry of Health, which does not differentiate between low combatants and civilians, says that more than 53,500 Palestinians have been murdered in the War of Repaire of Israel, many of them women and children.

Charity calls Israeli flexibility of gaza blocking “a smoke curtain”

The amount of help to Israel has begun to allow Gaza devastated by war is not enough and is “a smoke curtain to pretend that the siege is over,” said the MSF aid group on Wednesday.

“The decision of the Israeli authorities to allow a ridiculously inadequate amount of help in Gaza after months of a hermetic siege indicates its intention to avoid the accusation of hungry people in Gaza, while keeping them barely survivors,” said Pasassard, city of Pasasdes de Medecins de Medecins. “Current authorization for 100 [trucks] By day, when the situation is so serious, it is unfortunately inappropriate. “

“Meanwhile, evacuation orders continue to uproot the population, while Israeli forces still subject intensive attacks to health centers,” Coissard said.

Israel said that 93 trucks had entered Gaza from Israel on Tuesday, but the United Nations said the aid had been arrested.

When asked Tuesday about the last movements of Israel, the United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, told reporters in Washington that the Trump administration had been “pleased to see that the aid is beginning to flow again.”

“I understand your point that it is not in enough quantities,” he told a journalist. “But we were pleased to see that the decision was made. I understand that another 100 trucks are behind that and maybe in the next few days.”

Rubio said that the United States was working with the UN World Food Program “to cross some of the ideas and plans they had for the distribution” of help within Gaza, but in the opinion of the administration “, ultimately, the answer here is for this is for this. [war] Finally, hopefully with the elimination of Hamas, because the people of Gaza deserve a more prosperous and peaceful future, which they will never have while Hamas exists. “
