On August 29, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced a temporary pause in the Gaza conflict to allow for polio vaccinations for children. This move comes after the first polio case in 25 years was confirmed in Gaza, affecting a baby.
The “humanitarian pauses” will last three days in various parts of Gaza. The polio vaccination campaign is scheduled to start on Sunday, September 1, in central Gaza, according to Rik Peeperkorn from the WHO.
