The mission of a lifetime

Humanitarian workers risk their lives every day to protect children in Gaza. Among them are Dr. Younis R. Awadallah and Fairuz Abuwarda, who took on the mission of a lifetime vaccinating 600,000 children against polio amid war in Gaza.

Gaza’s Silent Threat, a new UNICEF documentary, tells their remarkable story.
