UN officials told The Jerusalem Post that all syringes and vaccines needed for the vaccination campaign have now been delivered to Gaza.
UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund, announced on Thursday that it successfully conducted a first round of routine catch-up vaccination campaign in Gaza, reaching more than 13,700 children across the Gaza Strip.
These children missed out on their routine vaccination during the last two years because of the October 7 massacre and the war that followed.
UN officials told The Jerusalem Post that all syringes and vaccines needed for the vaccination campaign have now been delivered to Gaza, adding that the US's new Civil Military Coordination Center (CMCC) in Kiryat Gat played a key role in ensuring access and safe delivery of supplies needed.
Work is currently underway to conduct the second and third rounds of vaccination campaign in Gaza with the intention to reach every child who missed out due to the war.
UNICEF officials tell the Post they work to scale up their operations in Gaza including detection, prevention and treatment of malnutrition among children and access to clean water and sanitation.
