Secretary-General António Guterres appealed to all parties to provide concrete assurances right away guaranteeing humanitarian pauses for a polio vaccination campaign, reiterating that “the ultimate vaccine for polio is peace and an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.”

The UN chief spoke to reporters today (16 Aug) in New York. He stressed, “a Polio Pause is a must. It is impossible to conduct a polio vaccination campaign with war raging all over.”

Guterres continued, “Polio goes beyond politics. It transcends all divisions. And so it is our shared obligation to come together. To mobilize – not to fight people, but to fight polio. And to defeat a vicious virus that, left unchecked, would have a disastrous effect not only for Palestinian children in Gaza, but also in neighboring countries and the region.”

According to the UN, in recent weeks, the poliovirus has been detected in wastewater samples in Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah.

The Secretary-General also said, “Preventing and containing the spread of polio will take a massive, coordinated and urgent effort.”

He continued, “The United Nations is poised to launch a vital polio vaccine campaign in Gaza for more than 640,000 children under the age of 10. The World Health Organization has approved the release of 1.6 million doses of the polio vaccine. UNICEF is coordinating delivery of the vaccines and the cold chain equipment to store them. And UNRWA, the largest primary healthcare provider in Gaza, has medical teams ready to administer the vaccines and assist with logistics.”

But the challenges are grave, Guterres told reporters, as health, water, and sanitation systems in Gaza have been decimated; the majority of hospitals and primary care facilities are not functional; people are constantly on the run for safety.

And routine immunizations have been severely disrupted by the conflict, increasing the spread of other preventable diseases like measles and hepatitis A, he added.

The UN chief reiterated, “We know how an effective polio vaccination campaign must be administered. Given the wholesale devastation in Gaza, at least 95 per cent vaccination coverage will be needed during each round of the two-round campaign to prevent polio’s spread and reduce its emergence.”

Guterres further explained, “The vaccination effort will include 708 teams at hospitals and primary health care centres – many of which are barely functioning -- and by 316 community outreach teams throughout Gaza.”

“We also know what a successful campaign will require,” the UN chief listed, “The facilitation of transport for vaccines and cold chain equipment at every step. The entry of polio experts into Gaza. Fuel for health teams to conduct their work. Reliable internet and phone services to inform communities about the campaign. An increase in the amount of cash allowed into Gaza to pay health workers. And, above all, a successful polio vaccination campaign needs safety. Safety for health workers to do their jobs. Safety for children and families to get to the health facilities. And safety for those health facilities to be protected from bombardment.”
