UAE President allocates funds towards polio vaccine effort in Gaza

President Sheikh Mohamed has directed funding for the delivery of a critical polio vaccination drive in Gaza.
The allocation of $5 million from the UAE follows the re-emergence of the virus within the enclave.
The vaccines will be delivered in collaboration with the World Health Organisation, UNICEF and UNRWA, and will provide 640,000 Gazan children under the age of 10 with two doses, state news agency Wam reported.
It is hoped the drive will help stop the spread of the virus and prevent a wider regional outbreak.
