Pope Leo XIV Sends Aid to Gaza
Pope Leo XIV has sent 5,000 doses of antibiotics to the Gaza Strip, primarily for children, following the first phase of U.S. President Donald Trump's peace deal.
The humanitarian gesture was made possible by the recent reopening of key border crossings, allowing the entry of aid. According to Vatican News, the shipment of medicines began this week, after the ceasefire.
Israel is permitting up to 600 aid trucks per day, operated by the United Nations and authorized by international organizations, private sector actors, and donor countries. On October 12, over 170 trucks loaded with humanitarian aid crossed into Gaza, according to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
