Pope Francis has renewed his appeal for the Syrian population.
Following the recitation of the Angelus, in St. Peter’s Square on July 1, 2018, he stressed: “The situation in Syria remains grave, in particular in the province of Deraa, where the military action of the past days has also affected schools and hospitals, and caused thousands of new refugees.”
“I renew,» the Holy Father added, «with my prayer my appeal so that the population is spared more sufferings, already harshly tried for years.”
Over the past days, Bachar el-Assad’s regime has continued its offensive against the rebels in Deraa, near the Jordanian border.
