One year after the death of Pope Francis, the project to convert his popemobile into a mobile clinic for the children of Gaza has yet to be realized. The vehicle, conceived as a symbol of hope and humanitarian aid, remains in Bethlehem, while procedures for entry permits into Gaza are still ongoing. The popemobile was adapted to provide trauma care and vaccination, with the capacity to treat up to 200 children per day. The project, known as the "Vehicle of Hope," was developed by Caritas Jerusalem, which had planned to send the vehicle to the war-torn territory. However, the process was delayed after Israeli authorities included the organization on a list of NGOs that were to suspend activities due to new "security and transparency" requirements. Later, the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem managed to argue that these rules do not apply to Caritas Jerusalem because of its special legal status. According to a Caritas spokesperson, the organization is still in dialogue with the authorities, and the permit to send the clinic is being processed through the Church. Meanwhile, COGAT stated that it is not aware of an official request for this vehicle but added that any application would be reviewed according to procedures. Swedish Cardinal Anders Arborelius emphasized that the project is purely humanitarian and expressed hope that the permit would be granted soon. According to him, this initiative would be a sign of goodwill and respect for the legacy of Pope Francis, who had a special connection with the Christian community in Gaza.
