Pope Francis is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital after being diagnosed with pneumonia affecting both lungs, the Vatican has confirmed. According to Al Jazeera, on Monday, a significant buildup of mucus in his lungs led to two episodes of severe respiratory distress. He also suffered from bronchospasms. Despite his hospitalization, Pope Francis issued a new statement on Monday, expressing concern over the repeated failures of international organizations in preventing wars. Since February 14, no photos or videos of the Pope have been released, marking one of the longest absences in his papacy.
