Pope calls on world to listen to cries of migrants dying in deserts and seas

Pope Francis, during his weekly General Audience, spoke out against the indifference faced by migrants risking their lives to seek a better future. He highlighted the dangers of crossing deserts and seas, and called for a global governance system based on justice and solidarity. The Pope emphasized the importance of providing safe pathways for migrants and addressing the root causes of migration, rather than militarizing borders. He praised the efforts of organizations like Mediterranea Saving Humans, who work to rescue and assist migrants in need. Pope Francis urged individuals to contribute in their own way to support migrants, emphasizing the need for compassion and action in the face of indifference. He stated that it is everyone’s responsibility to work towards a more just and compassionate society, grounded in solidarity. The Pope’s words serve as a reminder of the ongoing humanitarian crisis faced by migrants worldwide and the need for a collective effort to address their plight.
