Pope Francis is experiencing a slight improvement in his medical condition as he remains hospitalized for double pneumonia, according to the Vatican's latest update. This marks the 13th night for the 88-year-old pontiff at Rome's Gemelli hospital, the longest of his papacy.

Despite the resolved mild kidney insufficiency and no further respiratory crises reported, the Vatican emphasized the pontiff's prognosis is still guarded. However, he has been alert, eating normally, and moving about his hospital room.

Argentinians in Rome have gathered to pray for the pope's recovery, acknowledging his leadership not only within the Catholic Church but also on the political stage. Meanwhile, Vatican operations continue, with the pope occasionally working from the hospital.
