Pope Francis has appealed for solidarity and aid for migrants who cross the Mediterranean Sea in search of refuge, the Vatican Radio reported.
His call for increased attention and aid follows news of the death of over 300 migrants who have drowned or died of hypothermia in the latest deadly tragedy of the sea.
In his appeal at the end of the weekly General Audience, the Pope said he is “following with preoccupation news from Lampedusa where there have been more deaths amongst the migrants caused by cold during their journey across the Mediterranean”.
“I wish to assure my prayers for the victims and once again encourage solidarity so that no one is without necessary aid” he said.
