A large-scale polio vaccination campaign has been launched in the Gaza Strip after the first case of polio in the region in 25 years. The World Health Organization had urged Israel to agree to humanitarian pauses in the Gaza conflict to allow for the vaccination of over 640,000 children.
The vaccination efforts will first focus on the center of the Gaza Strip, followed by campaigns in the south and north of the area. Palestinian parents have brought their children to vaccination centers, where they received the first dose of the vaccine.
The second dose will be administered four weeks later. The Israeli army has agreed to limited ceasefires to facilitate the vaccinations.
