Nearly 30 million children around the world have no access to immunization, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The medical crisis is due in part to the difficulties of transporting vaccines to remote areas.
“In developing countries in the countryside and villages, there is no electricity at all,” said a spokesperson for the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF). “Electricity is essential to maintain the cold chain. Otherwise, by the time the vaccine reaches the child, it is like water.”
