US EditionMadonna Asks Pope Leo to Visit Gaza ‘Before It’s Too Late’
- On August 11, 2025, American singer Madonna called on Pope Leo XIV to travel to Gaza on a humanitarian effort aimed at rescuing starving children amid the ongoing conflict.
- Madonna’s appeal followed 22 months of conflict triggered by Hamas’ October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel, which led to heavy casualties and an Israeli siege limiting aid to Gaza.
- She highlighted the critical situation in Gaza, describing it as outright starvation, and urged that access for humanitarian aid be completely allowed, while refraining from assigning blame or taking sides in the conflict.
- UNICEF reports more than 18,000 children have died in Gaza since October 2023, with an average of 28 child deaths per day and at least 222 people dying from malnutrition according to health sources.
- Madonna’s plea highlights growing global concern about Gaza’s humanitarian crisis and suggests urgent action is needed before more innocent children succumb to starvation and violence.
