Pope Leo XIV has appealed to authorities worldwide to support Gaza's reconstruction, saying the territory's people remain in acute suffering, according to Al Jazeera English. The pontiff urged the international community to "help begin reconstruction" efforts in the enclave, framing assistance to Palestinians as a moral obligation for world leaders.
The pope's statement comes as Gaza faces widespread destruction and a severe humanitarian crisis. Religious leaders and aid organizations have issued repeated calls for coordinated global assistance to address the territory's needs. The appeal reflects growing pressure on governments to commit resources and diplomatic effort toward relief and rebuilding initiatives in Gaza.
