Pope Francis on Monday set
up an emergency fund with the Pontifical Missionary Works to
help "people and communities that have been tragically hit by
the spread of COVID-19", the Vatican said.
The fund will be sued by missionaries through the Church's
structures and institutions, it said.
The pope earmarked $750,000 as initial contribution for the
fund and urged "Church realities who can" to contribute too.
