CWN Editor's Note: During his Wednesday public audience on April 19, Pope Francis paid tribute to the Missionaries of Charity who have served in Yemen—“a land that has been wounded for many years by a terrible, forgotten war”—despite the threats.
Three members of the community were “killed by a fanatic” in July 1998, the Pope recalled, and another four were killed while doing charitable work in March 2016. Yet “even today they are still present in Yemen, where they offer assistance to the sick elderly and people with disabilities.”
