Pope Francis today (April 25, 2021) decried as shameful the deaths of 130 migrants in the Mediterranean, saying they pleaded for two days for help fir their overcrowded, foundering rubber dingy in the sea off Libya but potential rescuers chose "to look the other way," according to the AP website.
Francis called the sea tragedy last week "a moment of shame."
Rescue centers in Libya, Malta, and Italy had been alerted, according to the European Union border protection agency Frontex, whose plane had located the dingy.
