Aid Workers Administer Polio Vaccines in Gaza During Pauses in Israeli Attacks
Briefly

"There's real practical, operational problems with this current pause... It is not a ceasefire at all. It is an eight-hour pause every day." - Yanti Soeripto, CEO of Save the Children US.
"As Israel has repeatedly attacked civilians awaiting the provision of aid... it is difficult to reach normal coverage numbers, especially for the two-dose vaccine course necessary to vaccinate against polio." - Yanti Soeripto.
"These diseases often cause even more casualties than bombs and bullets." - Yanti Soeripto, discussing outbreaks in current war zones.
"We've heard about the truce for polio vaccinations, but I want to stay in this area... We still fear bombing will happen at any moment." - Baha al-Arbid, Gaza resident.
