Pope Francis in Critical Condition

Pope Francis remains in critical condition after experiencing a prolonged asthma-like respiratory crisis on Saturday, according to a report by BBC.

The 88-year-old pontiff's health has worsened compared to yesterday, and he has undergone a blood transfusion. The transfusion was deemed necessary due to low platelet levels related to anemia.

The pope has been alert, but he has required a significant amount of oxygen.
