The pope recalled the thousands of migrants trying to cross the jungle between Colombia and Panama, pointing out that they are often “families with children who decide on dangerous routes, deceived by false promises of them a short and safe route, suffering cruel treatment. , and many die in these jungles.”
“We need a joint effort by the countries directly affected by this and the international community to ensure that this tragic reality does not go unnoticed and come together to provide a humanitarian response to it,” he added.
