In the midst of ongoing conflict in Gaza, UNICEF has been working diligently to distribute the polio vaccine to children in the region. However, according to a recent statement from the organization, they have faced obstacles in getting the vaccine to those who need it most.
UNICEF has accused Israeli authorities of refusing to facilitate the distribution of the polio vaccine in Gaza during the agreed-upon pauses in fighting. The organization has expressed frustration over this lack of cooperation, as the vaccine is crucial in preventing the spread of polio among children.
Despite the challenges faced, UNICEF remains committed to ensuring that the polio vaccine reaches all children in Gaza. The organization continues to work tirelessly to coordinate with all parties involved in the conflict to secure safe access for vaccination teams.
The polio vaccine rollout in Gaza serves as a reminder of the importance of international cooperation in times of crisis. UNICEF’s efforts to protect vulnerable children from disease should be supported and commended by all parties involved in the conflict.

Watermelon 🍉 gangsters happy about this news. 😂
Don't mention the fact that while Hamas were busily running Gaza, they could have bought vaccines instead of weapons. But they didn't.
Were the hostages under 5 years old vaccinated ?
Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid" book written by 39th President of USA Jimmy Carter.
The former president Carter argue that the obstacle to permanent peace in the Middle East is related to the belief of some Israelis that they have the right to confiscate and colonize Palestinian land and try to justify the sustained subjugation and persecution of increasingly hopeless and aggravated Palestinians.
Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid" book written by 39th President of USA Jimmy Carter.
The former President Carter argues that Israel's continued control and construction of settlements have been the primary obstacles to a comprehensive peace agreement in the Middle East. Israel has occupied Palestinian land, and has confiscated and colonized hundreds of choice sites.
Gaza is surrounded by a similar barrier with only two openings, still controlled by Israel. The crowded citizens have no free access to the outside world by air, sea, or land. UN has reported food supplies in Gaza equivalent to those among the poorest families in sub-Sahara Africa, with half the families surviving on one meal a day
Often excluded from their former homes, land, and places of worship, protesting Palestinians have been severely dominated and oppressed. There is forced segregation between Israeli settlers and Palestine's citizens, with a complex pass system required for Arabs to traverse Israel's multiple checkpoints. An enormous wall snakes through populated areas of what is left of the West Bank, constructed on wide swaths of bulldozed trees and property of Arab families,
UN Resolutions, the Camp David Accords of 1978, the Oslo Agreement of 1993, official US Policy, and the International Roadmap for Peace are all based on the premise that Israel withdraw from occupied territories.

Israeli human rights group B’Tselem reported : “ Israel is exploiting the West Bank to process hazardous waste produced in Israel. Any transfer of hazardous waste to the West Bank is a breach of international law which Israel is dutybound to uphold. Waste treatment in the West Bank is simply one more facet of the exploitative policy Israel has practiced consistently for fifty years now, using Palestinian space and people to further its own interests. Israel, taking into account its own needs alone, treats its waste in the West Bank and completely ignores its legal and moral obligations toward the Palestinian population there. Israel has turned the West Bank into a sacrifice zone, exploiting and harming the environment at the expense of the Palestinian residents, who are completely excluded from the decision-making process
