Gaza Polio Vaccination Campaign Faces Major Hurdles Amid Conflict

Limited humanitarian pauses allow aid workers to vaccinate children, but challenges persist in reaching necessary coverage.

The World Health Organization aims to vaccinate over 640,000 children under 10 in Gaza against polio.
Israel has agreed to brief daily pauses in attacks, but operational challenges hamper the vaccination drive.
Gaza reported its first polio case in 25 years, with fears of further spread due to poor sanitation and disrupted health services.
Health officials warn that achieving the required vaccination coverage is difficult in the current conflict environment.
Aid workers emphasize the need for a ceasefire to ensure the health and safety of Gaza's children.
