Pope Francis on
Thursday said the world must not look the other way regarding
the humanitarian crisis in conflict-hit Syria and called on the
United Nations to support mediation between the parties. "Aside
from the necessary humanitarian aid, what our brothers and
sisters form Syria want more than anything is peace," the pope
told a meeting with charities operating in Syria and Iraq.
"That's why I'll never tire of calling on the international
community for greater and renewed efforts for peace in the whole
Middle East and ask them not to look the other way".
