Gaza's Polio Vaccination Efforts Amidst Conflict and Controversy
Over 58,600 children in northern Gaza received their second polio vaccine dose amid a campaign disrupted by Israeli airstrikes and evacuations. The WHO and UNICEF report that around 15,000 children in inaccessible northern areas are at risk of missing the vaccine, compromising the campaign's effectiveness. Despite humanitarian pauses, airstrikes near vaccination centers have injured civilians, highlighting the challenges of conducting health operations in conflict zones.
