In his last months, Pope Francis entrusted this humanitarian initiative to Caritas Jerusalem, aiming to address the devastating impact of war.
With nearly one million displaced children, Gaza’s collapsing infrastructure, mutilated healthcare system, and disrupted education left young lives vulnerable to starvation, infections, and preventable diseases.
Throughout his pontificate, Pope Francis often stated,“Children are not numbers. They are faces. Names. Stories. And each one is sacred.” His final gift ensured that his words became action.
Popemobile becomes lifeline for Gaza’s children
The transformed popemobile was equipped with essential medical supplies, including rapid tests for infections, diagnostic instruments, vaccines, suture kits, and other life-saving resources.
Doctors and medics prepared to staff the unit, ensuring that it could reach isolated children once humanitarian access to Gaza was restored.
In a press release, Peter Brune, Secretary General of Caritas Sweden, highlighted the significance of the initiative: “With the vehicle, we will be able to reach children who today have no access to health care – children who are injured and malnourished.”
He added, “This is a concrete, life-saving intervention at a time when the health system in Gaza has almost completely collapsed.”

An invitation to never forget
Caritas Jerusalem, an organisation with a longstanding commitment to Gaza’s communities, led the project with over one hundred dedicated healthcare staff members.
The repurposed popemobile became a powerful symbol of Pope Francis’ compassion and strength, delivering his final blessing to the people of Gaza.
Anton Asfar, Secretary General of Caritas Jerusalem, reflected on the Pope’s unwavering concern for the vulnerable: “This vehicle represents the love, care, and closeness shown by His Holiness for the most vulnerable, which he expressed throughout the crisis.”
Images released from the project showcased the vehicle’s transformation, carefully adapted to serve the needs of those in desperate situations. However, as Brune emphasized, “It’s not just a vehicle. It’s a message that the world has not forgotten about the children in Gaza.”
His statement carried a poignant call to action—an invitation for the global community to remember, advocate, and support the children who continue to face unimaginable hardships.
