As the conflict between Israel and Palestine continues, a polio vaccination campaign has been launched in the Gaza Strip. The campaign aims to vaccinate 640,000 children under the age of 10, with 1.3 million doses of the vaccine made available.
This comes after the first case of polio in Gaza in 25 years was reported, raising concerns about a potential outbreak. The vaccination program will take place during humanitarian ceasefires and will be carried out by over 2,000 volunteer medical workers.
However, the campaign faces challenges due to the significant damage to infrastructure in Gaza, with 65% of roads destroyed and 19 out of 36 hospitals out of service. Meanwhile, the conflict in the West Bank continues, with Israeli forces carrying out raids and clashes with Palestinian militants.
The ongoing violence in both Gaza and the West Bank has resulted in numerous casualties, including civilians and militants. The situation remains tense, with fears of further escalation.
