Pope Leo, the head of the Vatican, on Sunday called for an immediate ceasefire in Sudan and the opening of humanitarian corridors, saying he is following with “deep sorrow” reports of horrific atrocities in the city of El Fasher, Darfur.
During his weekly Angelus address at St. Peter’s Square, the Pope said, “The indiscriminate violence against women and children, the attacks on unarmed civilians, and the grave obstacles facing humanitarian work are causing intolerable suffering.”
He urged the international community to act “with determination and generosity” to support relief efforts.
