Health Minister Majed Abu Ramadan announced the arrival of an additional 350,000 doses of polio vaccine to the Gaza Strip on Tuesday evening, and they were stored in a vaccine warehouse designated for the vaccination campaign in coordination with UNICEF.

The Minister of Health said that this is the second batch of vaccines that have arrived in the Gaza Strip, bringing the number of doses arriving in the Gaza Strip to about one million and six hundred thousand doses, which is enough to vaccinate all children from one day old to 10 years old with two doses of the vaccine.

Minister Abu Ramadan added that the Ministry of Health teams, in cooperation with the World Health Organization, UNRWA and UNICEF teams, have been carrying out the vaccination campaign since last Sunday in Deir al-Balah Governorate, and the campaign will continue in Khan Yunis Governorate and the surrounding areas, Gaza Governorate and the North.

The Minister of Health renewed his appeal to the international community and international organizations to increase pressure on the occupation authorities to stop the aggression and facilitate the mission of health cadres in the Gaza Strip.
