Calls for humanitarian pause in Gaza for second round of polio vaccines

A humanitarian pause is being called for in Gaza as a second round of the polio vaccination is being rolled out.

A vitamin A supplement will also be administered in order to help reinforce children’s immune systems.

Over 552 thousand children on the Gaza strip received the polio vaccine last month with 78 per cent coverage in the middle and south of the region.
