As Gaza’s humanitarian catastrophe worsens by the hour, pop legend Madonna has issued a desperate public plea to Pope Leo XIV — urging him to go to the war-torn territory and bring relief to its starving children.
Posting to Instagram, the 66-year-old singer — known worldwide for hits like Like a Virgin and Material Girl — spoke not as a performer, but as a mother.
> “Most Holy Father, please go to Gaza and bring your light to the children before it’s too late,” she wrote. “As a mother, I cannot bear to watch their suffering.”
Her words come amid devastating reports from UN News: over 20,000 children treated for acute malnutrition, 70% of Gaza’s infrastructure reduced to rubble, and food supplies collapsing under the strain of a relentless conflict between Hamas and Israel.
Madonna’s message to the Pontiff was urgent and pointed:
> “The children of the world belong to everyone. You are the only one of us who cannot be denied entry. We need the humanitarian gates to be fully opened to save these innocent children. There is no more time. Please say you will go. Love, Madonna.”
