Pope Francis has said that Migrants at sea should never be denied aid.
The pontiff made the remarks on Saturday while addressing the faithful gathered in St Peter’s Square for the recitation of the Regina Coeli prayer.
Pope Francis turned his thoughts to the tragic loss of lives, once again, in the Mediterranean sea. We ought to be ashamed, said the Pope, remembering the 130 victims.
Pope Francis assured of his closeness to those people who “for two whole days begged in vain for help. Help that never came”.
They are people, said the Pope. Human lives.
The Pope then asked that everyone question themselves “about this umpteenth tragedy”.
