Pope Francis offered condolences and prayers, along with calls for worker safety, after a factory collapsed and killed more than 350 people in Bangladesh.
"I express my solidarity and deepest sympathy to the families mourning their loved ones," he said at Saint Peter's Square on April 28.
In his Regina Caeli address, the Holy Father offered prayers "for the many victims" of the tragedy.
On April 24, an eight-story building collapsed in the Rana Plaza complex in Savar, just north of Dhaka, killing at least 352 people.
