There is not a single proper toilet across the vast tent cities housing most of Gaza’s 1.7 million Palestinians left homeless by the war. Displaced families have largely been left on their own to dig their own latrines, some shared by extended families. The improper cesspits spread foul odors and pools of sewage. At communal camp toilets, people wait in long lines then do their business behind a thin cloth separating them from the crowd of strangers outside. Women fear walking to the communal toilets at night. Mostafa Shaaban dug a latrine in a corner of his tent close to where his family sleeps and eats.

Pope Leo XIV has visited families near Naples affected by illegal toxic dumping linked to the mafia. On Saturday, he met with those who lost loved ones to cancer and other illnesses tied to pollution. His visit to the "Land of Fires" reflects his commitment to continuing Pope Francis' environmental agenda. The European Court of Human Rights found that Italian authorities knew about the pollution since 1988 but failed to act. Bishop Antonio Di Donna emphasized the ongoing issue, urging the pope to condemn polluters. Families of victims appealed to the pope for help in healing the land.
