An extensive polio vaccination campaign led by the United Nations has successfully reached approximately 87,000 children in Gaza on its inaugural day, as reported by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) with reference to the World Health Organization.
The campaign, which commenced in the middle areas of Gaza, is now progressing into its second day, with subsequent phases planned for the southern and northern regions. The ultimate goal is to immunize a total of 640,000 children by September 12, encompassing over 90% of children under the age of 10.
