WHO, UNICEF and UNRWA are undertaking an integrated catch-up campaign in Gaza to reach 44,000 children, who have been deprived of essential life-saving services by two years of conflict, with routine immunization, nutrition support and growth monitoring.
The campaign started on 10 November and runs until 18 November. Providing much needed health relief for so many children depends on the full respect of the ceasefire. This will ensure families, health professionals and other humanitarian workers can reach vaccination sites freely and safely.
WHO stated, “This encouraging moment must be capitalized on, to protect and promote the health of all people in Gaza.”
