Pope warns people smugglers they face God’s wrath

Pope Leo has warned human traffickers that they will face God's wrath if they continue to exploit desperate African people trying to reach Europe via Spain's Canary Islands. He urged them to repent and stop exploiting people's desperation, saying that for every life lost, they will have to appear before divine justice. The pope visited the Canary Islands, a main gateway into Europe for migrants, where many risk a deadly journey across the Atlantic Ocean in overcrowded small craft.
