Pope calls for end to conflict in Yemen

Pope calls for end to conflict in Yemen Catholic Pope Leo XIV has called for an end to the violence in Yemen, particularly citing the siege of Taiz as a humanitarian catastrophe. Addressing followers at St. Peter's Square in Vatican City, he described the besieged city as a place “where the population suffers due to ⁠the lack of food, water and medical assistance”. “I’m making a heartfelt appeal for the hostilities to stop so that the people in Yemen and across the entire region can live in peace,” he said.
