LONDON (AP) — Madonna has urged the pope to travel to Gaza and “bring your light to the children before it’s too late.” The superstar posted her appeal to the pontiff on social media Monday, saying her son Rocco’s birthday prompted her to make the post. Rocco turned 25 Monday.

Madonna has urged Pope Leo to visit Gaza in a humanitarian mission to help starving Palestinian children, saying “there is no more time.”

Madonna is calling on her distant cousin, Pope Leo XIV, to travel to Gaza to help address the humanitarian crisis there.
