Francis' 'pope-mobile' being converted into Gaza mobile clinic

The Vatican confirmed that Pope Francis’ "pope-mobile" – a vehicle outfitted to protect the pontiff during his 2014 trip to the birthplace of Jesus Christ – is being converted into a mobile children's clinic in Gaza according to the Holy Father’s dying wish. 

The Catholic non-profit organization Caritas Jerusalem made the announcement on Sunday. 

In a press release, the non-profit said that Francis directed the humanitarian organization in his final months to "turn his pope-mobile into a mobile health station for the children in Gaza." 

"The purpose of the initiative is to safeguard and uphold children’s fundamental rights and dignity," Caritas Jerusalem wrote, releasing the first photos of the converted pope-mobile.
