Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director general of the World Health Organisation (WHO), expressed his sincere gratitude to President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and the United Arab Emirates on Friday via his official X (formerly Twitter) account. The President gave $5 million to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, which allowed 640,000 children in Gaza to receive polio vaccinations.
“He expressed his profound gratitude to the United Arab Emirates and His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed for providing $5 million to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, which allowed 640,000 children in Gaza to receive polio vaccinations,” he posted on his X account.
Prior to the polio outbreak that occurred in Gaza on Friday, President Sheikh Mohamed authorised financing for the delivery of a vital immunisation campaign in the region. The UAE has committed $5 million to support the campaign.
Over 640,000 Gazan children under the age of ten will receive two doses of the polio vaccine as part of a two-round campaign coordinated by the World Health Organisation, UNICEF, and UNRWA. The goal of this initiative is to halt the virus’s spread and avert a regional outbreak.
