Gaza Launches Urgent Vaccination Drive Amid First Polio Case in 25 Years Amid Ongoing Conflict

ai generated text

A vaccination campaign is planned to begin in Gaza on August 31, despite challenges posed by Israel's ongoing airstrikes and restrictions on aid entering the territory. The campaign aims to provide life-saving inoculations, but is threatened by hot summer temperatures and the prolonged conflict. Equipment to support the campaign has already arrived in the region.

    1. I am gravely concerned that a 10-month-old unvaccinated child from Deir al-Balah, #Gaza, has been confirmed to have polio.

    1. The return of polio to a place where it's been eradicated says quite a lot.
    2. It's extremely difficult to undertake a vaccination campaign of this scale and volume under a sky full of air strikes.

    White House National Security Council
    1. The parents must be able to bring their children to health centres or to the mobile units safely. Also, the humanitarian and health workers that will provide the vaccines must be able to do so safely and to be able to access the children that need the vaccine.
    2. There has been progress made. We need now for both sides to come together and work toward implementation.
  7. Natalia Anguera
    NGO Action Against Hunger
    1. Now that polio is confirmed, the response must be measured in hours, not weeks.
