URGENT APPEAL TO
PROTECT CHILDREN'S HEALTH
IN GAZA

The ongoing blockade of polio vaccines is putting the lives of 602,000 children in Gaza at serious risk, exposing them to potential paralysis and lifelong disability. This is not just a delay – it is an escalating threat to public health.

The current campaign includes the fourth dose of the polio vaccine, which is crucial for preventing the spread of the disease.

Blocking the entry of these vaccines undermines the progress made by health actors, including Médecins du Monde International Network, who have supported previous vaccination efforts in Gaza.

Without immediate intervention, children in Gaza may face a resurgence of preventable infectious diseases, endangering the lives of thousands.

Médecins du Monde International Network calls for immediate, safe, and unrestricted humanitarian access to resume vaccination efforts and protect every child’s right to health.
