On February 6, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake devastated large areas of central Turkey and northwest Syria.
Pope Francis concluded his public audience on Wednesday, 8 February, with a prayer for the intercession of the Virgin Mary for the victims.
“Let’s pray together so that these brothers and sisters can move forward from this tragedy. And we pray that Our Lady will protect them,” the Pope said.
He then led pilgrims at the event in praying a Hail Mary for all those affected.
As of today (9 February), their combined death toll has passed 17,000.
