António Guterres Instagram – Just when it seems the situation could not get worse for Palestinians in Gaza, the suffering grows – and the world watches.
In recent weeks, the poliovirus has been detected in wastewater samples.
The @unitednations is poised to launch a vaccine campaign for more than 640,000 children under the age of 10. But it is impossible to conduct such a campaign amid a raging war.
Let’s be clear: The ultimate vaccine for polio in Gaza is peace and an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.
But in any case, a Polio Pause in the fighting is a must.
It is our shared obligation to defeat a vicious virus that, left unchecked, would have a disastrous effect not only for Palestinian children in Gaza, but also in neighboring countries and the region. | Posted on 17/Aug/2024 01:27:46
