“People are educated — they know their children can get sick very easily,” said
Jonathan Crick, a Jerusalem-based spokesman for UNICEF, the world body’s agency
for children.

From Los Angeles Times

From Salon

The campaign will be administered by "the Palestinian Ministry of Health, in
collaboration with WHO, UNICEF, UNRWA".

From BBC
