Pope Francis on Wednesday celebrated a
Mass to mark the seventh anniversary of his landmark visit to
Lampedusa and said God said that migrants should be allowed to
land.
In the faces of migrants, Francis said, "there is the face of
God".
He said "it is He who asks us to land".
Francis spoke of Libya as an "inferno" and a "concentration
camp" for migrants.
He said conditions there were frequently misreported as being
better than they were.
The pope underscored "the detention camps, the abuse and
violence that migrants are victims of".
