Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>While Pope Francis remains in a critical condition with double pneumonia, the Vatican said on Tuesday that he has had a good night\u2019s sleep and is slightly improved.<\/b><\/p>\n

In its most upbeat bulletin in days, it said he has resumed work from his hospital room, calling a parish in Gaza City that he has kept in touch with since the war there began.<\/p>\n

Well-wishers have left candles and photos outside Rome\u2019s Gemelli hospital where the 88-year-old Catholic church leader was admitted on 14 February.<\/p>\n

He was experiencing breathing difficulties and bronchitis, but his condition has since worsened.<\/p>\n

Doctors for the Argentinian Pope, who had part of one lung removed as a young man, have declined to decide on a prognosis given “the complexity of the clinical picture”.<\/p>\n

The Vatican said, however, that he hasn\u2019t had any more respiratory crises since Saturday, and the flow and concentration of supplemental oxygen has been slightly reduced.<\/p>\n

The Vatican has set in motion a nightly marathon of prayer with hundreds of faithful gathered in St Peter\u2019s Square on Monday evening as cardinals recited prayers for Francis.<\/p>\n
