Polio Vaccination Campaign Amid Gaza Strikes

A polio vaccination campaign is underway in Gaza, aiming to immunize 640,000 children under 10 after the first polio case in 25 years was recorded. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported vaccinating over 187,000 children in the first phase, exceeding targets. Despite brief pauses in Israeli military operations to allow vaccinations, airstrikes continue, causing significant casualties, including women and children. The UN and WHO have called for a cease-fire to ensure the campaign's success and to protect civilians. Israeli forces have killed at least 35 Palestinians in the latest strikes, with targeted attacks near vaccination centers and hospitals. The campaign's next phases will move to southern and then northern Gaza over the coming days.
