The popemobile, once used by Pope Francis, is being repurposed as a mobile health clinic for children in Gaza, a region severely impacted by ongoing conflict. This initiative aligns with a wish from the late pope and represents both a symbol of hope and a tangible medical support system. Run by Caritas, the mobile clinic will provide vital healthcare services to children who lack access to medical facilities, addressing the humanitarian crisis as the local health system falters significantly amidst warfare.
"We call it a vehicle of hope because it conveys a message to the children of Gaza that peace is possible, there will be peace, you will have a future and the world has not forgotten about you."
"This is a concrete, life-saving intervention at a time when the health system in Gaza has almost completely collapsed."
