Polio vaccination is the most important in health program of any nation because it stops crippling the children. In Sudan there is so much fighting between Govt and the rebels that UN had to stop the polio vaccination program because no protection was available to health workers.
Efforts to vaccinate 165,000 children against polio in Sudan have been blocked by the government and rebels, the UN humanitarian chief says.
John Ging said the two sides should stop "filibustering" and give health workers access to children in the South Kordofan and Blue Nile states.
