Ongoing border restrictions have prevented Pope Francis’ former popemobile, which was refurbished with essential medical equipment, from reaching its destination.

Prior to his death, Pope Francis donated the popemobile he used during his visit to Bethlehem in May 2014 to be turned into a mobile clinic to assist children in the Gaza Strip.

The initiative was personally entrusted by the late pontiff to Caritas Jerusalem to respond to the grave humanitarian emergency in Gaza, where nearly 1 million displaced children live without access to food, clean water, or basic medical care amid the conflict with Israel.

However, ongoing border restrictions, including the sealing of the Rafah crossing between Egypt and Gaza, have prevented the vehicle, which was refurbished with essential medical equipment, from reaching its destination.

    Arendt’s subtitle famously introduced the phrase “the banality of evil.” In part the phrase refers to Eichmann’s deportment at the trial as the man displayed neither guilt for his actions nor hatred for those trying him, claiming he bore no responsibility because he was simply “doing his job.” (“He did his ‘duty’…; he not only obeyed ‘orders,’ he also obeyed the ‘law.’”)[1]
