Dr. Ghebreyesus announced that WHO, UNICEF, and UNRWA are conducting an integrated catch-up campaign to provide routine vaccination, nutritional support, and growth monitoring for 44,000 children in Gaza who have been deprived of essential and life-saving services due to two years of conflict.

He noted that the campaign began yesterday and will continue until November 18. “The ability to provide urgent health assistance to so many children depends on the full observance of the ceasefire. This will allow families, health workers, and humanitarian personnel to reach vaccination centers freely and safely,” said Ghebreyesus.

He emphasized that this promising development should be used to take steps toward protecting and improving the health of all people in Gaza.
