WHO To Vaccinate 40,000 Children in Gaza Amid Ceasefire

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced its plan to vaccinate over 40,000 children in Gaza as a ceasefire allows intensified humanitarian operations. In phase one of the campaign, more than 10,000 children under age three were vaccinated against measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hepatitis B, tuberculosis, polio, rotavirus, and pneumonia. Phase one, which started November 9, is being extended; phases two and three are expected in December and January, jointly run with UNICEF, UNRWA, and Gaza authorities. WHO chief Tedros Ghebreyesus said the truce enables expanded health services and vital reconstruction for Gaza’s devastated health system. The UN Security Council recently endorsed the ceasefire plan, brokered by US President Donald Trump, following two years of hostilities that claimed thousands of lives, with over half the deaths in Gaza reported as women and minors.

Kaduna Launches Drive to Immunize 4.2 Million Children

The Kaduna State Primary Health Care Board has begun an integrated measles and rubella vaccination campaign aimed at protecting over 4.2 million children across the state. The exercise, which started on Saturday, covers all 23 local government areas and targets children aged between nine months and 14 years. It is supported by UNICEF, the World Health Organisation (WHO), and other development partners. Speaking at the launch, Dr. Hamza Ibrahim, Director of Disease Control and Immunisation, said the campaign will help reduce the number of “zero-dose” children — those who have never received any vaccination. Kaduna State, he noted, accounts for around 10 percent of the 100 local government areas in Nigeria facing this challenge, with over 4,000 unvaccinated children identified. “Our progress has been made possible through the dedication of community women and the support of our partners,” Ibrahim said.
