The second phase of the UN-led vaccination campaign against polio is making significant strides in southern Gaza. Over 140,000 children under 10 years old were vaccinated in the area on Saturday as part of the ongoing efforts by UNRWA, the main UN agency in Gaza.
UNRWA has set ambitious targets for the campaign, aiming to immunize 640,000 children in the enclave, which accounts for over 90% of children under 10. The campaign, which began in September, is being conducted in three-day installments based on geographic areas, starting with central Gaza, followed by south Gaza, and concluding in north Gaza.
