The Catholic parish of Gaza accompanies the funeral of Pope

Francisco communicated daily with the Church

The funeral of Pope Francis was accompanied live on TV in the only Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip, with which the finished pontiff communicated almost every day since the beginning of the war between Israel and Hamas.

The church of the Sagrada Familia, led by the Argentine parish priest Gabriel Romanelli, installed a big screen so that people could look at the farewell of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who, through his pontificate, had never failed to make appeals of peace to the Holy Land.

The parish currently hosts about 500 people who had their homes destroyed by Israeli bombings, who continued on Saturday (26), with at least 17 deaths in air attacks in the area.

One of them, in the city of Gaza, has made at least 10 victims and left about 20 dispersed, according to the civil defense of the Palestinian encyca, which is governed by Hamas.

From the violation of the truck by Israel on March 18, 2025, about 2,000 Palestinians have been killed, while the number of deaths since war began on 7 October 2013, reached 51,400.

The conflict was triggered after Hamas’ terrorist attacks that left 1,200 deaths in Israel. Among the fighting, Pope Francis made almost daily called to the parish of the Holy Family to express solidarity and update himself on the situation in the enclave, a routine maintained even during the recent hospitalization and in his last days of life. .
