In a statement released on Sunday, the Ministry emphasized that the blockade is an indirect attack on Gaza's children, warning of the potential collapse of efforts to combat the disease, as well as the social and economic repercussions.

The Ministry called on relevant parties to pressure the occupying forces to allow the entry of vaccines and provide safe passages to ensure they reach all areas of the Gaza Strip.
