🧵All You Need to Know About Our Efforts to combat polio in Gaza:
According to the @WHO, about 90% of the population in Gaza was vaccinated against polio in the first quarter of 2024.Since the beginning of the war, @cogatonline has coordinated the entry of 282,126 vials of the polio vaccine, sufficient for 2,821,260 doses, into Gaza. Since the discovery of the virus in July, and as part of the vaccination campaign, 9,000 vials were brought through the Kerem Shalom crossing, providing 90,000 additional doses of the vaccine.
In the coming weeks, 43,250 vials of vaccine, tailored to the virus found in environmental samples, are expected to arrive in Israel and will enter the Gaza Strip. This will be sufficient to vaccinate over one million children (in two rounds) - a total of 2,162,500 doses.
COGAT conducts in-depth situational assessments twice a week with the Ministry of Health, the WHO, and @UNICEF to understand the status of the spread of the virus in Gaza. Additionally, specific meetings are held to implement vaccinations among the population in Gaza in cooperation with @USAID.
As part of the medical response provided by the State of Israel, COGAT maintains continuous contact and conducts situational assessments with all health system stakeholders and the international community for ongoing monitoring of the medical situation in Gaza. As part of this effort, since the beginning of the war, the State of Israel has facilitated the establishment of 14 field hospitals in Gaza, alongside the entry of 2,566 trucks carrying 25,955 tons of medications and medical equipment into Gaza, which have been distributed to the population.
In all the thousands of news articles about Gaza since October, how many mention that the IDF meets regularly with every major international organization to help facilitate aid into the sector?
