UNICEF said they were planning two seven-day vaccination drives across the Gaza Strip.
UNITED NATIONS – UN chief Antonio Guterres called Friday for two seven-day breaks in the Gaza war to vaccinate more than 640,000 children against polio, which has been detected in the territory's wastewater.
The World Health Organization and UN children's fund UNICEF said they were planning two seven-day vaccination drives across the Gaza Strip, starting in late August, against type 2 poliovirus . The Gaza Strip has been polio-free for 25 years and its re-emergence would threaten neighbouring countries, it added.During each round of the campaign, the health ministry in Gaza, alongside UN agencies, would provide "two drops of novel oral polio vaccine type 2 to more than 640,000 children under 10 years of age".
