MANAMA, Bahrain: Pope Francis said on Sunday he was praying for 'suffering peoples of the Middle East', at the end of a Bahrain visit promoting dialogue with Islam but marked by accusations of rights abuses in the Gulf state.

In a final address before boarding a flight to Rome, he also urged congregants to pray 'for Ukraine, which is suffering so much,' and for an end to the war.
