The second phase of the polio vaccination campaign aims to reach 640,000 children in Gaza, following a confirmed case in a nearly 1-year-old boy last month.
Over 187,000 children were vaccinated in the first phase of the campaign, which saw more than 2,180 health workers mobilized across various locations in Gaza.
After the first vaccination phase, an Israeli airstrike tragically struck near Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, resulting in four casualties, shedding light on the risks in continuing health initiatives.
The WHO exceeded its initial vaccination target by 30,000 children, indicating a significant commitment to preventing a potential polio outbreak amidst ongoing conflict.
