Pope Leo XIV told pilgrims in Paul VI Audience Hall that “my thoughts go especially to the beloved people of Mozambique, who have been struck by devastating floods.”
“As I pray for the victims, I express my closeness to those who have been displaced and to all who are offering them support,” the Pope added. “May the Lord help you and bless you!”
BBC reported that the flooding in the southeastern African nation is the worst in a generation and has affected over 640,000 people.
