Pope Benedict XVI has expressed hope that an effort of the European Union would be verified and peace would rain in Georgia. The Pope declared about that at his summer residence on August 17.
Expressing his "concern" over the situation in Georgia, which Benedict said he was following very carefully, the head of the Roman Catholic Church appealed to the "generosity" of the international community to help "refugees, especially women and children."
The Pope called for the "immediate opening" of humanitarian corridors between Georgia and the Moscow-backed separatist South Ossetia region to aid victims of the conflict.
"I would like the immediate opening of humanitarian corridors between South Ossetia and the rest of Georgia so that the dead can receive a dignified burial, the wounded can get access to care and those who want to rejoin their dear ones, can do so," he said during the Angelus blessing.
