A quote from Pope Francis:
"Some flee on account of hunger, because their country has been exploited and they are hungry. And some flee from war, which is an affair that makes the most money at the moment, for arms dealers. It is the same one who sells, who deals in weapons with this country that is at war with that one, and the same who sells to that country at war with this one! It is very difficult even to enable humanitarian aid to arrive in countries at war or where there are guerrillas, and very often the Red Cross has been unable to do so. But weapons always arrive: there are no border controls that manage to stop them! Why? Because it is the most lucrative business. This is the god of money."
