The Pope, speaking at the Vatican, encouraged 'trust among individuals, peoples and nations' on Easter Sunday.
In an Easter message highlighting hope, Pope Francis on Sunday invoked prayers for both the Ukrainian and Russian people, praised nations which welcome refugees and called on Israelis and Palestinians wracked by the latest surge in deadly violence to forge a"climate of trust."
Since Russia invaded neighboring Ukraine in February 2022, Francis has repeatedly called for the fighting to end and sought prayers for the"martyred" Ukrainian people. Francis also prayed for those who lost loved ones in an earthquake that struck Syria and Turkey two months ago, claiming tens of thousands of lives.
In the last two weeks, dozens have died or were left missing after attempting to cross the Mediterranean Sea from Tunisia.
