Almotamar Net - SANA�A - The European Commission has granted Yemen �500,000 for child polio vaccinations in a campaign targeting 4,000,000 children.
The grant comes after it was found last June that 40% of world polio cases were in Yemen.

The EC grant will be a major boost for the door-to-door vaccination drive to prevent the virus from spreading among Yemeni children.
The report added that grants from the EC, a major donor to Yemen, over the last five years have amounted to �87 million, �9 million of which was a humanitarian aid.
