Vom Balkon einer römischen Klinik hat sich der Papst nach längerer Krankheit an die Öffentlichkeit gewandt. Die Wochen in der Klinik waren ihm anzumerken.
Pope Francis, 88, made his first public appearance in weeks from a balcony in Rome after being hospitalized for over five weeks. Appearing in a wheelchair, he thanked supporters and appeared weak. He has returned to the Vatican for continued treatment following a bout of pneumonia and requires oxygen and ongoing therapy. His participation in upcoming Easter celebrations is uncertain.
