UN Calls for Temporary Truce to Combat Polio Outbreak in Gaza

ai generated text

The UN chief, António Guterres, has called for a ceasefire in Gaza to allow for the vaccination of over 640,000 children against polio. The poliovirus is highly infectious and is often spread through sewage.

  1. United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund
    1. These pauses in fighting would allow children and families to safely reach health facilities, and community outreach workers to get to children who cannot access health facilities for polio vaccination.
  2. Tanya Haj-Hassan
    Medical Aid for Palestinians
    1. Normally, if you have a case of polio, you're going to isolate them, you're going to make sure that they use a bathroom that nobody else uses, make sure that they're not in close proximity to other people, [but] that's impossible.
  3. PS
    Palestinian Health Ministry
    1. We stress that the vaccination campaign will not be sufficient without comprehensive solutions to the issues of sewage and the accumulation of garbage between the tents of displaced people, and providing drinkable water and ending the aggression.
  4. PS
    Ezzat El Rashq
    Hamas
    1. Hamas also demands the delivery of medicine and food to more than two million Palestinians trapped in the Gaza Strip.
  5. PT
    António Guterres
    United Nations
    1. I am appealing to all parties to provide concrete assurances right away guaranteeing humanitarian pauses for the campaign.
    2. It is impossible to conduct a polio vaccination campaign with war raging all over.
