A vehicle used by the late Pope Francis during a visit to Bethlehem in Israel more than a decade ago has been transformed into a mobile health clinic Christian leaders hope will soon be used to provide care to Palestinian children in Gaza.
The initiative was blessed by Francis before he died in April and was entrusted to the Catholic organisation Caritas, which oversaw the project to convert the vehicle unveiled on Tuesday.
Were pleased we have a serious contribution towards the healthcare of children in Gaza, Caritas secretary-general Alistair Dutton told a press conference in Bethlehem.
