(Vatican Radio) On 14th April, The Embassy of the Czech Republic to the Holy See together with the Sovereign Order of Malta presented a photographic exhibition which focuses on more than 30 years of humanitarian crises.

The exhibition entitled, “The Devil within Us”, shows 53 photographs by Czech photographer, Jan Sibik. During the opening, a discussion about ‘humanitarian crises at the international level’ took place ahead of the World Humanitarian Summit in May.

Vatican Radio’s Linda Bordoni attended the event and spoke to Albrecht Boeselager, Grand Chancellor of the Sovereign Order of Malta who said “the result of the evil atrocities in the world”, must be talked about. The Order of Malta is currently present in 120 countries worldwide aiding those who are victims of armed conflict and natural disaster.

Speaking ahead of Pope Francis’s visit to the Greek island of Lesbos, the Grand Chancellor expressed his hope that the visit would “give a push to the European politicians” to come up with a better policy on the migrant situation, saying that “walls and fences are no long term solution”.

Later, Linda Bordoni also spoke to Pavel Vosalik, the Czech Ambassador to the Holy See, about the importance of remembering past conflicts, saying that although those affected are not currently in the media, “it doesn’t mean that the victims disappear”.

He emphasised the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, explaining that “people who are in need are just around the corner” and “Europe is not immune” from these issues.

When asked about the role of Pope Francis in humanitarian crises, the ambassador says that there is a difference between expectation and reality, citing that the role of the Pope is to draw the attention of the public and the politicians to the issue rather than resolve it.
