The Pope’s charitable efforts continue towards Ukraine, a country he has long described as ‘martyred’, with trucks loaded with essential supplies leaving Rome for the war-torn country. The trucks left last month from the Ukrainian Basilica of Holy Wisdom in Rome, carrying essential supplies, such as food, clothing, and medicines, for the distressed population of the Eastern European nation. The shipment also includes boxes of tuna, a long-lasting food item.
Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, papal almoner [medical social worker] and Prefect of the Dicastery for the Service of Charity, is overseeing the shipment and distribution in Ukraine of these gifts from the Pope.
