The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced its readiness to resume polio vaccinations in northern Gaza after a temporary suspension last month due to escalating Israeli attacks in the area. The UN-led campaign faced a setback on October 23 when Israeli forces targeted a school in northern Gaza where vaccinations were scheduled, leading to the program's halt.
The three-phased vaccination campaign, initiated in September, has been subject to intermittent pauses in fighting as agreed upon by the Israeli military. Following the recent developments, the WHO has confirmed that the campaign will restart in northern Gaza, albeit with a smaller coverage area this time.
