Our teams are ready to start the #polio vaccination campaign in #Gaza tomorrow.
We urge all parties to facilitate the safe implementation of the campaign.
As devastating floods continue to expose children to higher risks of water-borne diseases, @UNICEF is working round the clock to ensure safe water for the affected communities.
Access to clean water is vital for their health and well-being, and it remains our top priority.💧

#Breastfeeding offers a powerful line of defense against all forms of child malnutrition. It acts as a first vaccine for 👶🏽, protecting them against many common childhood illnesses, while reducing 👩🏽’s future risk of diabetes, obesity & some forms of cancer.
This misleading marketing:
🔸reinforces myths about 🤱🏾 & breast milk
🔸undermines 👩🏾’s confidence in their ability to breastfeed successfully
🔸dissuades mothers from #breastfeeding exclusively as WHO recommends
