Just a few weeks ago, on the Sunday of the Divine Mercy, the Pope recalled the war in the Ukraine.<\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS
\n'I am thinking of the ordeal of those who suffer the consequences of the violence in Ukraine: of those who continue to live in lands that are turned upside-down by hostilities that have caused thousands of deaths, and of those \u00e2?? over a million \u00e2?? who have been forced to leave due to the grave situation that persists.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
This coming Sunday, April 24, Pope Francis wants to dedicate a special collection in order to alleviate the harsh situations of the civilians in Ukraine, who always seem to pay the highest price in wars.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, during the general audience, he once again, asked for the generosity of Catholics in Europe.<\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS
\n'I want to thank, in advance, all of those who will contribute generously to this initiative that will take place next Sunday, April 24.\u00e2?\u009d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two years of war have left a bleak reality in Ukraine. Thousands of people have lost their homes because of the bombings and now live like this, some have
\n\tresorting to sharing old train cars.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The World Food Programme of the UN estimates that there is a high chance that some 300,000 Ukrainians will soon begin to starve.<\/p>\n
The armed conflict began in April 2014 supported by Moscow and the pro-Russian government in Kiev. Since then, more than 10,000 people have lost their lives, there are about 2 million refugees and internally displaced and another 3 million people need humanitarian assistance.<\/p>\n
As Pope Francis has recalled, the war in the Ukraine, along with others around the world are a part of a piecemeal Third World War. It is just one more to add to the list of the forgotten wars in the world.<\/p>\n
