Cardinal Matteo Zuppi visits the Caritas Baby Hospital in Bethlehem and highlights the urgent need for a ceasefire in Gaza in light of the unacceptable suffering of children amid ongoing violence.The Caritas Baby Hospital in Bethlehem is celebrating 71 years of active service this year.
Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, Archbishop of Bologna and President of the Italian Bishops' Conference, has just returned from a visit to the Holy Land where he visited the paediatric hospital in Bethlehem. Accompanied by 160 pilgrims from his diocese, Cardinal Zuppi was greeted on 15 June by Shireen Khamis, from the hospital’s press office.Khamis explained to Cardinal Zuppi that “the war makes it even harder for families to bring their children here for treatment”.
Despite these hardships, the Caritas Baby Hospital remains steadfast in its mission. “In mid-March”, Khamis told the visiting Cardinal, “we welcomed 68 children from the Gaza Strip. They are now under the care of SOS Children's Villages, with medical treatment provided by our hospital”.Cardinal Zuppi visited the patients and their parents, offering them words of comfort. He also took the time to converse with the dedicated medical staff.
He recalled hearing firsthand from some of the patients about horrific experiences in Gaza,"such as undergoing amputations without anaesthesia.”
