The World Health Organization asserts that the disruption of routine immunization campaigns in the occupied Palestinian territory, including Gaza, has played a role in the reemergence of the polio virus.

The ongoing conflict in Gaza, marked by profound human suffering and widespread destruction, has elicited international concern and condemnation.

The United Nations children's agency, UNICEF, says “over 50,000” Palestinian children suffer from acute malnutrition due to Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.

Even with a polio pause, the vaccination campaign faces grave danger and immeasurable obstacles in Gaza.

Aid groups have called for an immediate humanitarian pause in the war in Gaza to facilitate the vaccination of over 600,000 children in an attempt to avert a widespread polio outbreak.

UNICEF says Israel directly bombed more than 50 percent of the school-turned-shelter over the past 10 months of its war against the Gaza Strip.

The regime's tanks and fighter jets continue operations against Khan Yunis.
