"Without humanitarian pauses, distribution of the vaccine in an already complex environment will not be possible," Rik Peeperkorn stated, emphasizing the crucial role of these pauses in the vaccination effort.
"Due to insecurity, damage to roads and infrastructure, and dislocation, the three days might not be enough" to reach a hoped-for vaccination coverage of 90 percent, Peeperkorn cautioned regarding the challenges faced.
Peeperkorn explained that the humanitarian pauses will last for at least three days across three separate zones, highlighting the organized approach to distribute the oral polio vaccine to children.
According to the World Health Organization, more than 640,000 children in Gaza are targeted for oral polio vaccinations amid a concerning outbreak of the virus.
