US EditionPope Francis's Popemobile Transformed into Gaza Mobile Clinic
- Following Pope Francis’s passing last month, one of the vehicles he used during his 2014 Holy Land visit is being converted into a healthcare unit to provide medical services for children in Gaza.
- This initiative began because Gaza's health services were devastated by the Israeli invasion starting in October 2023, and Pope Francis entrusted Caritas Jerusalem with the project before his passing.
- The vehicle, used by the Pope during his 2014 Holy Land visit, is being equipped with diagnostic tools, vaccines, rapid infection tests, and staffed by medical personnel to serve vulnerable children.
- The head of Caritas Sweden described the initiative as a vital, life-saving effort that serves as a reminder that the global community remains concerned about the children in Gaza.
- Caritas plans to deploy the mobile clinic to areas lacking functioning healthcare once humanitarian access is possible, potentially expanding the program if the pilot succeeds.
