Children receive polio vaccination in Gaza after inoculation campaign begins

Palestinian health authorities and United Nations agencies on Sunday began a large-scale campaign of vaccination against polio in the Gaza Strip, hoping to prevent an outbreak in the territory that has been ravaged by the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. Authorities plan to vaccinate children in central Gaza until Wednesday before moving on to the northern and southern parts. The vaccination campaign faces a host of challenges, from ongoing fighting to devastated roads and hospitals
