Vatican City, Holy See—Pope Francis called Monday for “truth and justice” over the catastrophic explosion at Beirut’s port four years ago, and lamented Lebanon was “paying a price” for the war in the Middle East.
Nobody has been held responsible for the blast, which killed more than 220 people, injured at least 6,500 and devastated swathes of the capital. “All of us know that the issues are complex and difficult, and that opposing powers and interests make their influence felt. Yet truth and justice must prevail over all else.
The pontiff also said that Lebanon was “paying a price” for the war in the Middle East, the day after Israel launched air strikes into the country, which it said destroyed “thousands” of Hezbollah rocket launchers.
