The WHO's emergency campaign aims to vaccinate over 640,000 children in Gaza after the first polio case in 25 years, with humanitarian pauses arranged.
UN officials emphasize the vaccination campaign's reliance on negotiated humanitarian pauses, following incidents of violence that put the safety of these missions at risk.
Louise Wateridge, a UN representative, underlines the urgency of the vaccination campaign, stressing that failure to act promptly could result in disastrous health repercussions.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO Director-General, confirms that the vaccinations will begin with two doses, followed by a repeat after four weeks to ensure immunity.
