I hope they really focus on children, because in Tripoli we see many cases that cannot be easily treated. Progress exists, but it must reach everyone without exception.

Yes, George is right. Here too, in Tetovo, there are families who have a hard time getting medicine for their children. It is good that the Vatican mentions exactly that – to leave no one behind, especially the little ones. Hope to find a way to reach everyone.

Νίκος Μιχαηλίδης

I agree with George and Snezana. In Athens, we also see that children from vulnerable families find it difficult to get their medicines without delays. It's good that the Vatican emphasizes this, because really no one should be left behind.

Marie Martin

Yes, it’s good that they insist on children. At our parish, we helped a family from Romania whose little girl was waiting months for her medication. Let's hope that things really move forward for everyone, without exception.

Sophie Moreau

Yes, it’s true that children often come last in these stories. At home in Lyon, we followed a little boy whose mother had difficulty obtaining antiretrovirals because of paperwork; it took almost six months. I hope that the promises of the Holy See really translate into simpler stocks and visas.

Емил Ангелов

Yes, it's good that the Vatican emphasizes precisely children and the vulnerable. In Varna, we have also seen cases where families wait for months because of documents or lack of connections. I hope it will not remain just words, but really reach everyone.

You are right, George. There are indeed many children in Tripoli who do not receive medicine easily. I hope they develop a clear plan for areas where access is difficult, not just general talk.

You are right Tony, in Tripoli the situation is really difficult for children. I heard from my daughter, who visits her relatives there, that even the medicine sometimes arrives late. The plan must be clear and mention the names of the areas specifically, not general words.
