Polio vaccination campaign to resume in northern Gaza: UN

2/11/2024 13:37
        A third phase of the polio vaccination campaign in the northern Gaza Strip is set to resume on Saturday after being postponed over escalating violence, a UN statement said on Friday.
        
        According to a joint statement from the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO), the humanitarian pause necessary to conduct the campaign has been assured, but the area of the pause has been substantially reduced compared to the first round of vaccination in northern Gaza in September. It is now limited to just Gaza City.
        
        This means some 15,000 children under the age of 10 in parts of North Gaza, including Jabalya, Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun, remain inaccessible and could be missed during the campaign.
