World Aug, 28 2022

ITALY: Pope Francis called on international community to help Pakistan, where deadly floods have killed more than 1,000 people. Argentine pontiff appealed for “prompt and generous international solidarity”, and said he was praying for victims.

His comments came as he visited city of L’Aquila in central Italy, which was hit by an earthquake that killed more than 300 people in 2009. 85-year-old pope praised people of L’Aquila’s “resilience” and “dignity”. Pope Francis, who used a wheelchair during visit, was due to return to Vatican early this afternoon. He will chair a meeting with cardinals from around world on Monday and Tuesday, where they will discuss future of Catholic Church.
