[IsraelTimes] Vials enough to inoculate 1.25 million people, over half of Strip’s population, as aid groups call for weeklong truce for vaccination drive following 1st case of polio in 25 years.
Israel said it delivered 25,100 vials of the polio
...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic. Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world. However, since the vaccine is known to make Moslem pee-pees shrink and renders females sterile, bookish, and unsubmissive it is not widely used by the turban and automatic weapons set. Currently the disease is only found in Pakistain and Afghanistain...

The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...

has urged an inoculation campaign in the Strip following the first case of polio there in 25 years.
The vaccines will be enough to inoculate 1,255,000 people, just over half of the Strip’s population, according to COGAT, Israel’s civilian coordination agency for the Paleostinian territories, which released footage of the delivery.
COGAT said "international and local medical teams" will administer the vaccines in various locations over the coming days to children who have not yet received a dose, "as part of the routine humanitarian pauses that will allow the population to reach the medical centers where the vaccinations will be administered."
The World Health Organization and UNICEF, the UN child welfare agency, have said that fighting in Gaza must pause for at least seven days to vaccinate some 640,000 children. The agencies say the campaign will be carried out in every municipality in Gaza, with help from 2,700 workers.
COGAT has vowed a "joint effort" with the international community to combat polio in Gaza. On Friday, five trucks brought into the Strip equipment to store and transport the vaccines, COGAT said, adding that it had coordinated the delivery with UNICEF.
According to COGAT, "282,126 vials of the polio vaccine, intended for 2,821,260 vaccinators," have been brought into Gaza through Kerem Shalom since the war was sparked on October 7 with the Hamas

Before the war, 99% of Gaza’s population was vaccinated against polio. That figure is now 86%, according to the WHO.
The territory’s healthcare system has been devastated, and workers are overwhelmed. Only about a third of Gaza’s 36 hospitals and 40% of its primary healthcare facilities are functioning, according to the UN.

He previously served as deputy national security advisor from 2013 to 2015 and deputy secretary of state from 2015 to 2017 under the corrupt and inept Obama administration. He advocated for the 2003 invasion of Iraq while serving as the Democratic staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 2002 to 2008. He was a foreign policy advisor for the Biden 2008 presidential campaign. During his tenure in the Obama administration, Blinken helped craft B.O.'s policy on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the nuclear program of Iran. We all saw how well each of those worked.
