Thank you for your clear cut information. I would like to echo another comment about your language when dealing with Gaza. "The war" paints a false equivalency between Palestine and Israel (1200 dead to 40,000–over half of whom are children, is not a war).

Thank you for your clear cut information. I would like to echo another comment about your language when dealing with Gaza. "The war" paints a false equivalency between Palestine and Israel (1200 dead to 40,000–over half of whom are children, is not a war). "ISRAEL'S PLAUSIBLE GENOCIDE IN GAZA PER THE ICJ" is more true and appropriate. A war crime is a war crime. Hamas committed them and Israel is committing them, both of which as a society we need to speak clearly about. When you leave out the subject, it appears Gazans are suffering some sort of natural disaster. It is not political to name the perpetrators. Please instead say something like: "missing their routine vaccinations due to ISRAEL'S FORCED DISPLACEMENT OF ALL CIVILIAN GAZANS". As well as: "because of the lack of clean water and functioning sewage DUE TO ISRAEL'S DESTRUCTION OF GAZA'S CIVILIAN INFRASTRUCTURE". It would also have been nice to hear about WHO's courage in taking advantage of the "humanitarian pause" due to Israel's unprecedented killings of international aid and healthcare workers. My two questions when I read this were: what other options were considered than a live vaccine that will continue to spread due to common knowledge of Israel's destruction of water supplies, wastewater disposal networks and the healthcare system? Was this purely a fiscal decision? Or is it due to Israel's strict and unpredictable "humanitarian pause" rules (only a few hours a day in a few areas to which many Gazan's don't have the fuel or means necessary to traveling to)? And, is the vaccine campaign sufficient? This article seemed to answer that question https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/9/1/what-to-know-about-the-polio-vaccination-campaign-in-gaza, but I would have liked to hear your input.
