Pope begs for immediate ceasefire in Syria

VATICAN CITY (AFP) – 12 Oct. 2016- Pope Francis begged on Wednesday for an immediate ceasefire in Syria, calling for “at least” a truce enabling civilians, especially children, to be evacuated, after Aleppo came under fierce air assault.


“I want to underline and reiterate my closeness to all the victims of the inhumane conflict in Syria. It is with a sense of urgency that I renew my appeal, begging those responsible, with all my strength, for an immediate ceasefire,” he said at his weekly general audience.
