Pope Francis calls for Gaza ceasefire to be 'immediately respected'

Pope Francis called Sunday for a ceasefire in Gaza to be "immediately respected" as he thanked mediators and urged a boost in humanitarian aid as well as the return of hostages.

"I hope... it will be respected immediately by the parties," Francis said at the end of the Angelus prayer, adding that he expressed "gratitude to the mediators" of the deal.
