Pope visits Ukrainian children war refugees in Rome hospital

ROME (Reuters) – Pope Francis on Saturday made a shock go to to younger Ukrainian warfare refugees being handled in a paediatric hospital in Rome.

One of many footage launched by the Vatican confirmed the pope speaking to a lady with a completely bandaged head and what gave the impression to be a tube in her throat.

Nineteen Ukrainian kids are presently being handled on the two branches of the Bambino Gesu hospital for most cancers, neurological circumstances or critical warfare accidents brought on by explosions, the Vatican stated. About 50 kids from Ukraine have been handled on the hospital because the warfare started.

“The blood and tears of youngsters, the struggling of ladies and men who’re defending their land or fleeing from bombardments shakes our conscience,” Francis stated in a message to a Church convention in Slovakia on Friday.
