Under the directives of UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, a new polio vaccination campaign has been launched in Gaza, marking a significant step in the region’s public health efforts. This initiative underscores the UAE’s unwavering commitment to humanitarian support and the health and safety of children in conflict-affected areas. By providing essential vaccines to thousands of children, the campaign aims to prevent the spread of polio, a crippling disease that has the potential to cause lifelong paralysis and even death.


Given the ongoing challenges faced by Gaza, this vaccination drive brings hope and reassurance to families, reinforcing that the world has not forgotten their plight. The campaign is a testament to the UAE’s dedication to global health, demonstrating leadership in the fight against preventable diseases. It reflects the values of compassion and solidarity that are at the heart of the UAE’s foreign policy, as the nation continues to stand with those in need, ensuring that every child has the chance to grow up healthy and thrive.
