Over 180,000 children aged 10 and younger in central Gaza have received polio vaccinations during a three-day campaign that took place from October 14 to 16. This initiative was led by the UN's children's agency, UNICEF, and aimed to protect the vulnerable population from the debilitating effects of polio.
Following the successful campaign, it was announced that eight health facilities will continue to offer polio vaccines and Vitamin A doses until Tuesday for those who were unable to participate in the initial round of vaccinations. This extended effort underscores the commitment to ensuring that all children have access to essential healthcare services.
