Community support remains strong, with religious sisters and faithful gathering outside Gemelli Hospital to pray for his recovery. The Pope also stays connected to global issues, recently expressing condolences for flood victims in his native Argentina, where flash floods in Bahia Blanca claimed 16 lives.
