UN Warns of 'Apocalyptic' Conditions in North Gaza Amid Renewed Polio Vaccination Efforts

Israel reports the killing of a senior Hamas leader as humanitarian crises escalate in the region.

The United Nations has described the humanitarian situation in North Gaza as 'apocalyptic,' highlighting severe shortages of food and medical supplies.
Israeli military actions have intensified in the region, with recent operations resulting in the death of a senior Hamas figure, Iss al-Din Kassab.
The World Health Organization has announced the resumption of polio vaccinations in North Gaza, following a temporary halt due to ongoing conflicts.
The WHO has secured a humanitarian pause to facilitate the vaccination campaign, though the safe area for this effort is smaller than during previous rounds.
Despite challenges, nearly 443,000 children in the central and southern Gaza regions have received their second polio vaccine dose, with efforts ongoing to reach 120,000 children in the north.
