In line with a final wish of the late Pope Francis, one of the popemobiles he used to greet thousands of people is to be turned into a mobile health clinic to help the children of Gaza.
The BBC reports that charity organisation Caritas, which is overseeing the project, said the vehicle was being refitted with everything needed for frontline care in a war zone.
Caritas said in a statement: “There’ll be rapid tests, suture kits, syringes, oxygen supplies, vaccines and a small fridge for storing medicines.”
The vehicle is currently in Jerusalem and will enter Gaza if and when Israel opens a humanitarian corridor.
The Vatican said it was the pope’s “final wish for the children of Gaza” before he died last month.
