Pope Leo XIV on Sunday renewed his call for an immediate ceasefire in Sudan and the "urgent opening of humanitarian corridors" there to alleviate "unacceptable suffering" caused by civil war.

"With great sorrow, I follow the tragic news coming from Sudan, particularly from the city of El-Fasher in the afflicted northern Darfur region," the pope said during his Angelus address at Saint Peter's Square.
