VATICAN CITY: Pope Francis on Wednesday called for all efforts to be made to avoid a 'humanitarian catastrophe' in Gaza, and expressed concern at risk of a widening of the Hamas-Israel conflict.

'The victims are increasing and the situation in Gaza is desperate. Please do everything possible to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe,' the 86-year-old said at the end of his weekly audience at the Vatican.
