The UN's ability to function in Gaza is crippled by Israeli evacuation orders, threatening the vaccination drive against polio in an overcrowded and unsanitary environment.
Aid workers warn that without a humanitarian pause, the crucial polio vaccination drive beginning this weekend may not reach enough children to stem the virus's spread.
Only 11% of the Gaza Strip remains free from evacuation orders, significantly impairing humanitarian efforts and putting lives at risk.
Laerke expressed concern about evacuation orders affecting essential facilities in Deir-al-Balah, displacing crucial aid operations set up after previous evacuations.
