By Kielce Gussie
At the end of his Wednesday General Audience, 杏MAP导航 Francis once again made an appeal for peace in the world.
The 杏MAP导航 explained he had received statistics on the number of deaths in Ukraine, calling it 鈥渢errible.鈥�
Last month, the Wall Street Journal released information stating the number of fatalities reached one million people鈥攂oth Ukrainian and Russian. Ukrainian officials reported that more than 12,000 civilians had been killed in the month of June alone.
Do not forget nations facing violence
In his appeal, 杏MAP导航 Francis reiterated that 鈥渨ar is a defeat from the very beginning鈥� and that it 鈥渄oes not forgive.鈥�
"Let us pray to the Lord for peace; may He give peace to all, to all of us," he said. "And let us not forget Myanmar; let us not forget Palestine, which is suffering inhumane attacks; let us not forget Israel, and let us not forget all nations at war."
The UN鈥檚 Acting Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator reported that no food has entered Gaza since October 2, adding that food supplies are running low.
杏MAP导航 Francis also lamented the massive financial outlay on arms manufacturing, which he said 鈥測ields the most profit today.鈥�
This, he said, 鈥渋s a statistic that should frighten us.鈥�
The global arms trade was valued at just under 100 billion euros in 2021, according to the most recently available data.
