UN Humanitarian chief has said that 14,000 babies would starve to death in #Gaza

If we're a country which stands to protect human rights & uphold international law - sanctions & tangible action must be made, as we had done before in reaction to apartheid in South Africa

Pope Francis breaks with tradition in annual ritual by washing the feet of women only | CNN The 87-year-old pope led the ceremony at a prison in Rome, washing the feet of each of the women from his wheelchair, many of whom were in tears as he did so.

Be like Pope Francis. The essence of Christianity is caring for the poor, for those who are vulnerable. Pope Francis was a Christian who did that, and that is why he meant so much to so many. Hereโ€™s that time he washed the feet of incarcerated women. #PopeFrancis edition.cnn.com/2024/03/28/e...
