During his weekly general audience at the Vatican Pope Francis shows solidarity for the "people of Los Angeles who have suffered so much because of the fires". He also mentions a phone call with the parish of Gaza "where 600 people were sheltered" who were able to enjoy a proper meal after months of food deprivation. "They said, ‘today we had lentil with chicken’. It's something they weren't used to doing these days," he says. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
