00:00UNICEF says vital supplies, including syringes for child vaccinations and bottles for baby formula,
00:07are being blocked from entering Gaza by Israel, hampering aid efforts into the war-ravaged territory.
00:14The agency says 1.6 million syringes and solar-powered vaccine fridges have been held in customs since August,
00:22as Israel classifies them as dual-use items that could have military uses.
00:30Israel has denied blocking such supplies, saying it is ensuring that aid isn't diverted by Hamas
00:37and that alternative solutions have been offered.
00:40UNICEF has launched a vaccination campaign to reach 40,000 children under three
00:45who missed routine vaccine shots against polio, measles and pneumonia during the two-year war.
00:51The agency also said nearly 1 million bottles of ready-to-use infant formula
00:56and spare parts for water trucks are still not being allowed into Gaza.
01:02The October 10th truce was meant to allow a surge of aid into Gaza,
01:06but much of the two million displaced population still isn't getting enough help.
