To mark the day, Pope Francis urged continued prayer and action, and multinational companies, including Amazon and Microsoft, pledged to collectively hire more than 250,000 refugees in Europe.
June 20 is World Refugee Day, a day established by the United Nations to promote awareness of the estimated 27.1 million refugees displaced by violence and conflict across the globe.
To mark the day, Pope Francis urged continued prayer and action, and multinational companies, including Amazon and Microsoft, pledged to collectively hire more than 250,000 refugees in Europe.
In a tweet Tuesday, Francis said he was “thinking of Christ present in so many desperate people fleeing conflicts and climate change.”
“The problem of hospitality needs to be confronted together,” the Pope added, “without excuses and without delay, because the effects will be felt, sooner or later, by all of us.”
Among the companies taking action in support of refugees, 41 companies pledged at the Tent European Business Summit in Paris to collectively hire 250,000 refugees over the next three years, according to a June 19 press release by the summit.
Amazon has committed to hiring 5,000 refugees, with a special emphasis on hiring Ukrainian women, according to the release.
“With no end in sight to the Russian invasion of Ukraine — and with the European Union welcoming millions of Ukrainians — it’s imperative that refugees are offered longer-term inclusion and hope through integration into the labor market,” said Margaritis Schinas, vice president of the European Commission, who spoke at the summit.

Help the refugees, send them all to vatican city
Ship all the illegals to the Vatican so the fake pope can show us his compassion
Now I see where the term ‘Pontificate’ comes from.
Easy for The Pope to sit there in guarded, hermetically sealed living quarters, telling other countries what they should be doing with unwanted, unskilled illegal aliens.
All of his material needs are sure to be met w/o interruption.
> Help the refugees, send them all to Vatican City <
I did a quick calculation awhile back. Based on its size, Vatican City can house at least 2000 refugees. And there is room in the Vatican gardens for a high-rise apartment building or two.
So far there has been no action from Francis in this regard.
Perhaps I should write him a letter.
“Help the refugees, send them all to vatican city”
The guards won’t let them in without a ticket.
Good idea!
My thoughts exactly!
And exterminate legacy citizens because we hate them.
Send them back to their s holes with guns and ammo. They need to fix their own s holes.
Arm them with rifles and ammo first.
