(Eyad Baba / AFP) GENEVA — UNICEF said on Tuesday that essential items, including syringes to vaccinate children and bottles for baby formula, are being denied entry into Gaza by Israel, preventing aid agencies from reaching those in need in the war-torn territory. As the UN children’s agency undertakes a mass children’s vaccination campaign a month after a fragile ceasefire took effect, it said it faces serious challenges getting 1.6 million syringes into Gaza, along with solar-powered fridges to store vaccine vials. The syringes have awaited customs clearance since August, UNICEF said. “Both the syringes and the… refrigerators are considered dual-use by Israel and these items we’re finding very hard to get them through clearances and inspections, yet they are urgent,” UNICEF spokesperson Ricardo Pires said. “Dual-use” refers to items Israel deems to have possible military purposes in addition to civilian applications. COGAT, the arm of the Israeli government that oversees aid flows into Gaza, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It has previously said it is not limiting the entry of food, water, medical supplies, and shelter items.

(Omar AL-QATTAA / AFP) UNICEF launched the first of three rounds of catch-up immunizations on Sunday to reach over 40,000 children under three who missed routine vaccines against polio, measles, and pneumonia amid two years of war in Gaza. On the first day of the campaign, it reached over 2,400 children with multiple vaccines.

The October 10 truce was meant to unleash a massive surge of aid across the enclave. But relief agencies have repeatedly said not enough is getting in to meet the needs of a largely displaced and malnourished population of 2 million. Israel has consistently denied that it is aiming to create an aid shortage and has accused the UN of failing to sufficiently distribute assistance.
