Gaza Launches Polio Vaccination Campaign Amid Humanitarian Challenges

Facing dire humanitarian conditions after months of war, Gaza initiates a polio vaccination campaign targeting 640,000 children. With the first polio case reported, health authorities collaborate with the UN for this crucial effort.

Amid temporary ceasefires, 86,000 children have already been vaccinated, emphasizing the need for double doses. The campaign's success is vital as polio reemerges globally due to vaccine hesitancy.

In a distressing revelation, Israeli officials discuss using epidemics as a weapon in Gaza, raising concerns of genocide. However, past successes in eradicating polio in conflict zones, like the DR Congo, offer hope for Gaza's battle against the disease.
