Important statement by Josep Borrell Fontelles on behalf of the EU. Polio does not know borders. Humanitarian pauses are needed to implement the polio vaccination campaign. UNRWA, mobilizing thousands of staff in Gaza, will play a leading role in coordination with UNICEF & World Health Organization (WHO).

Poland shares the EU and UN calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza to allow for the vaccination of children against polio. We underscore the importance of cooperation by all sides with World Health Organization (WHO), UNRWA and UNICEF who are committed to conduct the vaccination campaign.

Children in Gaza have lost an entire school year to the war & many of them now live where they used to study. The EU collaborates with UNRWA to reach children in Gaza with essential recreational & educational activities, helping them return to learning.

Thank you AFET Committee Press for voting to increase 🇪🇺 contributions to UNRWA in the 2025 #EUbudget. The additional support recognizes the Agency's crucial role as the backbone of the humanitarian response in #Gaza, and as provider of essential services for refugees in the region.

"Draft legislation is being discussed in the Israeli Parliament to designate UNRWA a terrorist organisation. This would be unprecedented and has to be rejected in the strongest possible terms."
