The lead went back to seven when Williams hit another 3-pointer to put the Thunder on top 123-116 with 1:21 to go.

Father Castillo, the secretary-general of the Catholic aid organisation Caritas Chiclayo, remembers that Leo XIV played a critical role in raising money to buy medical-grade oxygen to treat the sick.“He came up with the idea of making a campaign to support the community, to acquire an oxygen plant,” Father Castillo explained.

Through their collective efforts, more than $380,000 were raised to buy the oxygen generation systems.“He appealed to the entire population, to the authorities and to the businessmen as well,” Father Castillo said. “In the end, God was so great that not only there was money for one plant, but for two oxygen plants.”Both, however, have since been shut down due to a lack of funds for maintenance. Still, Father Castillo told Al Jazeera he hopes Pope Leo XIV will continue his advocacy for the poor while at the Vatican.

“We are all hopeful that he continues to be that voice, not only for us Peruvians, but for everyone,” he said. “Many people need to get out of misery, out of poverty.”From one migrant to another

Claims of corruption and contested election results marred voting in parts of the north, where many candidates from traditional political parties dominated.In Beirut, forces for change were dealt a heavy blow. After receiving about 40 percent of the vote in 2016, which still was not enough to earn them a municipal seat, the reformist Beirut Madinati (Beirut My City) list won less than 10 percent of this year’s vote.

The defeat took place despite the worsening living conditions in the capital, which critics blamed on establishment parties, including those running the municipality.“The municipality lives on another planet, completely detached from the concerns of the people,” Sarah Mahmoud, a Beirut Madinati candidate, told Al Jazeera on May 18 on the streets of Beirut as people went out to vote.
