Gaza polio vaccination halted due to Israeli attacks
A polio vaccination campaign for children in northern Gaza has been postponed due to Israeli bombardment, mass displacement and lack of access, the World Health Organization says.
The final phase, due to begin today, was aimed at vaccinating more than 119,000 children in the Strip.
“The current conditions, including ongoing attacks on civilian infrastructure, continue to jeopardize people’s safety and movement in northern Gaza, making it impossible for families to safely bring their children for vaccination, and health workers to operate,” the UN agency said in a statement, reiterating its call for a ceasefire.
Israel ‘hindering’ implementation of Gaza vaccination campaign: Health Ministry
We also have some comments from the Health Ministry in Gaza about the halting of the polio vaccination campaign. In a short statement, the ministry said Israeli forces have been “putting obstacles in the way” of the campaign in the territory, especially its heavily besieged and bombarded northern part.
“This is hindering its timely implementation, and depriving the children of Gaza and North Governorate of their right to receive the vaccination,” it added.
Vaccination halt will ‘seriously jeopardise’ efforts to contain polio: WHO chief
World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has renewed his call for a ceasefire in Gaza after Israeli attacks prevented tens of thousands of children from receiving their second polio doses.
“Having a significant number of children miss out on their second vaccine dose will seriously jeopardise efforts to stop the transmission of poliovirus in Gaza,” he wrote in a post on X.
The WHO earlier said “intense bombardments, mass displacements and lack of access” in northern Gaza have forced the programme to halt.
