Pope Francis said Sunday it was sad
to see schools and hospitals destroyed in war.
"Tomorrow an important international conference of the Red Cross
and Red Crescent will open in Geneva, 75 years after the Geneva
Convention," he said at the Angelus.
"May this event awaken consciences so that during armed
conflicts the life and dignity of people and peoples are
respected, as well as the integrity of civil structures and
places of worship, in compliance with international humanitarian
law," the 87-year-old Argentine pontiff appealed.
"It is sad to see how in war, in some places, hospitals and
schools are destroyed," he added.
