Pope Francis makes appeal for peace in Gaza in Easter message
==========
Pope Francis made a strong appeal for a cease-fire in Gaza and the "prompt" release of all Israel hostages during his traditional Easter message. He also called for humanitarian aid to be "ensured to Gaza," for the "prompt" release of all Israeli hostages taken on Oct. 7, and for "an immediate cease-fire" in the Gaza Strip. Francis expressed his sympathies for those suffering throughout the world and called for a prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine. He also appealed for political leaders to combat human trafficking and dismantle networks of exploitation. The address came after Francis presided over Mass in the morning and made several loops around the piazza, greeting some of the tens of thousands of people in attendance. Francis appeared "in good form" after battling respiratory problems all winter. He also expressed grief for the suffering of the Haitians and the Rohingya and called for peace in Syria. The address was delivered from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica.
