The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) has said polio vaccination efforts are continuing in the southern part of Gaza, with its staff going tent to tent to reach children in Khan Younis.
The first phase of the campaign in central Gaza was completed earlier this week. A third phase focusing on northern Gaza is expected to follow.
Despite the UN’s efforts to vaccinate children against the disease, aiming to reach at least 650,000, its children’s fund UNICEF said yesterday that the Israeli army is denying its teams access to communities in the southern Gaza Strip.
