Overview
- Cardinal Konrad Krajewski confirmed the papal order to deliver aid to areas most affected by recent bombings.
- The shipment consists of high‑energy soup mixes that become hot meals with a little water and minimal cooking.
- Supplies include donations from South Korea’s Samyang Foods that arrived at the Vatican before Christmas for redirection to Ukraine.
- The initiative is presented as a gesture linked to the Feast of the Holy Family on 28 December to support struggling families.
