Pauses in Fighting Will Be Critical as Children Receive Polio Vaccinations in Gaza

GAZA - United Nations tents have been erected outside the Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al- Balah in Gaza on Sunday, as children accompanied by relatives stand in line to get polio vaccinations. UNRWA, the main UN agency in Gaza, has set targets to immunize 640,000 children against polio in the war-torn enclave, facilitated by a series of pauses in fighting agreed to by Israel. This equates to over 90% of children under the age of 10.
