Pope Francis prays for the victims of violence in Ethiopia's Tigray region, as well as for all those who risk their lives crossing the Mediterranean Sea, and for children forced into labour.
Addressing the faithful gathered in St Peter's Square for the Sunday Angelus Pope Francis turned his thoughts to the suffering people of Ethiopia's Tigray region "which is suffering from a serious humanitarian crisis that could expose the poorest to famine".
The Pope warned that there is already famine in the region. "Let us pray together that the violence will cease immediately, that food and health care will be guaranteed to all, and that social harmony will be restored as soon as possible", he said.
The Pope then thanked all those "who work to alleviate the suffering of the people".
