UNICEF has highlighted that the polio vaccination campaign in Gaza, aiming to immunize over 640,000 children, has already reached 189,000 children in its initial phase.
The ongoing campaign is considered a rare bright spot, despite continuing hostilities in Gaza, with efforts to expand vaccinations to areas severely affected by the conflict.
As fighting persists, the humanitarian situation worsens, with dire warnings from health experts on potential disease outbreaks amid widespread displacement and hunger.
The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees stated that while strides are being made in vaccination efforts, there is an urgent need for a permanent ceasefire and increased humanitarian access.
