Pope Leo XIV, the leader of the world’s Catholics, expressed deep concern over the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, particularly for displaced families enduring harsh winter conditions in makeshift tents. During his Christmas address, the Pope highlighted the dangers faced by those living without proper shelter amid heavy rain, cold, and strong winds, asking, ‘How can one not think of the tents in Gaza, defenseless against weeks of rain, wind, and cold?’
He emphasized that the prolonged crisis has worsened the humanitarian disaster in Gaza and called on the international community to provide immediate aid, shelter, and relief to civilians. While not explicitly mentioning Israel, the Pope condemned crimes against the Palestinian people and demanded practical and humane attention to their plight.
