Pope Francis prays for the Czech Republic

“I pray for the dead and injured and all who had to leave their badly destroyed homes,” said the head of the Catholic Church on Sunday in front of hundreds of believers and pilgrims in St. Peter’s Square in Rome. He assures the population in the south-east of the Czech Republic to be close. Five people were killed and around 200 injured in the storm on Thursday evening. According to a report by the public service broadcaster in the Czech Republic, a pregnant woman from neighboring Slovakia, whose unborn child also died, was among the dead.
