Israel Agrees to 'Humanitarian Pauses' for Polio Vaccinations in Gaza Strip

Israel has agreed to allow 'humanitarian pauses' for polio vaccinations in the Gaza Strip as confirmed by the World Health Organization (WHO). The vaccination campaign is set to commence in the central area of Gaza on September 1 for three days, providing several hours of pause each day.

Amidst ongoing conflict fronts in the West Bank and against the Hezbollah militia, the USA is pressuring Israel following an attack on a UN vehicle. Additionally, the EU is considering sanctions against Israeli government members while Defense Minister Galant calls for expanded war objectives.

Over 640 Palestinians have been killed since the Gaza conflict's inception post-Hamas massacre in Israel, prompting displacement of 150,000 individuals due to clashes.
