For the second Sunday, Pope Francis has prayed for the victims of a migrant boat that crashed off the coast of southern Italy last week.
At least 70 people died when the flimsy boat broke apart on a shoal off the coast of the southern town of Cutro, in Italy’s Calabria region.
Among the dead were a handful of children, including twin toddlers and a few-month-old baby.
