Storyline

A UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund) chartered aircraft carrying vaccines for immunizing children against diseases including diphtheria, whooping cough, tuberculosis, pneumonia and meningitis has landed in Sana’a airport in Yemen Saturday (25 Nov).

The aircraft carried 1.9 million doses of vaccines. The vaccines will reach 600,000 children in a nation-wide vaccination campaign all over Yemen.

The shipment arrived at a critical time for Yemeni children as stocks were rapidly running out, increasing the risk for more children to fall sick or even die. Already, across Yemen today, a child dies already every 10 minutes of preventable causes.
