Vatican newspaper draws attention to Israeli organization that assists sick Palestinian children

 

With the headline “Percorsi di pace” [Paths of peace], the Vatican newspaper devoted the most prominent front-page article in its July 11 edition to The Road to Recovery, an Israeli organization whose volunteers transport ill Palestinian children to and from Israeli hospitals through border checkpoints, with the Palestinian National Authority paying for the cost of treatment.

Quoting the 2020 papal encyclical Fratelli tutti (n. 225), journalist Isabella Piro cited the organization as an example of the “paths of peace” that are needed “to heal open wounds.”
