VATICAN (SE): Pope Leo XIV sent humanitarian aid to Gaza, Vatican News reported on October 14. Around 5,000 doses of antibiotics was sent for children in need through the Office of Papal Charities—known as “Pope Leo’s first aid service”.
“We are putting into practice the words of the Apostolic Exhortation Dilexi te, dedicated to the poor,” Konrad Cardinal Krajewski, prefect of the Dicastery for the Service of Charity, said, adding that “It is necessary to act, to pay attention to those in need.”
The gesture was made possible by the reopening of the crossings through which humanitarian aid is now reaching the people of the Gaza Strip.
Thanks to the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, the antibiotics sent have already been distributed to those in need.
