		</div><p>Pope Francis has wished Christmas peace on people scarred by wars and those who lost loved ones to terrorism that he says is sowing &#8220;fear and death&#8221; in many cities and countries.</p>
<p>Speaking from the central balcony of St Peter&#8217;s Basilica at the Vatican on Sunday, Francis cited those suffering through the Syrian war, especially during the &#8220;most awful battles&#8221; in Aleppo.</p>
<p>He pressed the international community to find a negotiated solution. He urged Israelis and Palestinians to abandon hate and revenge.</p>
<p>He also lamented that in Nigeria <i>&#8220;fundamentalist terrorism exploits even children&#8221;,</i> a reference to child suicide-bombers.</p>
<p>He decried conflicts and tensions in Africa, eastern Ukraine, Burma, the Korean peninsula, Colombia and Venezuela.</p>
<p>Tens of thousands of faithful entering St Peter&#8217;s Square endured long lines for security checks.</p>
