Pope of Pope Francis will be a health clinic for children in Gaza
A vehicle from the well-known " Papstmobilen " is converted into a mobile health unit for children, reported, reported Official media agency of the Vatican on Sunday.
The last wish of Pope Francis
In one of his last wishes before his death, Francis trusted the Papstmobil of the Catholic aid organization Caritas Jerusalem used in 2014 during his pilgrimage to the Holy Land. This is intended to help to react to the acute humanitarian crisis in gaza
help for injured children
Francis asked to use the vehicle to support injured and malnourished children in the war -plagued Palestinian enclave.
conversion to the mobile health station
Caritas will convert the vehicle into a mobile health station by equipping medical equipment for diagnosis, examination and treatment of children and other life -saving materials. The new clinic vehicle will be filled with doctors and paramedics and will be sent to communities that have no access to functioning health facilities as soon as safe access to the Gaza Strip is possible.
a sign of hope
"It is not just a vehicle, it is a message that the world has not forgotten the children in Gaza," said Peter Brune, Secretary General of Caritas Sweden, in an explanation.
The peace appeal by Pope Francis
the world peace was a central concern during Francis' pontificate. He called up to ceasefire in the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine as well as in the fights between Israel and Hamas, most recently on Easter Sunday - the day before his death.
connections to the community in the Gaza strip
Franziskus had contacted the Holy Family Church almost every night-the only Catholic Church in Gaza-which served as a de-facto approval for their community and some Muslims during the Israeli military operations after the attacks by Hamas on October 7, 2023.
controversy during his term
In addition, he had set up a crib during the Christmas celebrations that the newborn Jesuschind represented in a Keffiyeh, a traditional Palestinian garment. This is strongly associated with pro-Palestine movements and activism and was removed by the Vatican shortly after the exhibition.
The next step in the Vatican
The conclave that will choose the successor of Francis meets on Wednesday.
