Israeli strikes in Gaza kill more than a dozen as health workers press on with polio vaccines
Saturday, 7 September 2024 () Israeli air raids in the Gaza Strip have killed more than a dozen people overnight into Saturday morning as health workers are wrapping up the second phase of an urgent polio vaccination campaign. The vaccination drive was launched after health officials confirmed the first reported polio case in Gaza in 25 years, in a 10-month-old boy whose leg is now paralyzed. The nine-day campaign aims to vaccinate 640,000 children under the age of 10, an ambitious effort during a devastating war that has destroyed Gaza’s health care system and much of its infrastructure.
