The Pope’s charitable efforts continue towards Ukraine, a country he has long described as “martyred”, with trucks loaded with essential supplies leaving Rome for the war-torn country yesterday. Source: Vatican News.
The trucks left from the Ukrainian Basilica of Holy Wisdom in Rome. They are carrying essential supplies, such as food, clothing, and medicines, for the distressed population of the Eastern European nation.
The shipment also includes boxes of tuna, a long-lasting food item.
Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, papal almoner and Prefect of the Dicastery for the Service of Charity and papal almoner, is overseeing the shipment and distribution in Ukraine of these gifts from the Pope.
This new act of charity reaffirms the Pope’s solidarity with the country, for which he also requested prayers and support from all the faithful at the end of yesterday’s general audience.
