"The second dose will be crucial in order to stop the spread of the virus in Gaza and internationally," according to the World Health Organization.
"It worked for the round one and we are confident that it will work for round two," said UNICEF Special Representative Jean Gough, emphasizing the need for humanitarian pauses.
Health workers are gearing up to administer a second dose of the polio vaccine to around 590,000 children, building on a successful first round.
With the ongoing humanitarian crisis, the count of eligible children for vaccination may have been overestimated due to displacement and deaths in the region.
