Poverty and rejection are an offence against the human person, disfiguring his or her dignity. They are like ashes that extinguish the fire carried within as persons created in the image of God. Only by restoring dignity do we restore humanity! #ApostolicJourney

Two years after the coup, internally displaced people in Myanmar continue to struggle to access education and other basic rights.

We cannot grow accustomed to the bloodshed that has marked the #DemocraticRepublicOfTheCongo for decades, causing millions of deaths. The current #peace processes, which I greatly encourage, need to be sustained by concrete deeds, and commitments should be maintained.

We often see urban images portraying the #Syrian crisis, but many displaced people live in remote rural areas where also host communities endure the gravest hardship due to the current economic crisis. Daily life is hard there and providing them with services is not easy. 🧵
