Polio vaccinations begin in northern Gaza despite operational challenges

[IsraelTimes] Health and aid officials say access restrictions, evacuation orders, fuel shortages hampering operation to vaccinate some 200,000 children.

The campaign in northern Gaza, the part of the territory hardest hit by Israel’s 11-month military offensive against Hamas terrorists, follows the vaccination of more than 446,000 Palestinian children in central and south Gaza earlier this month.

Israel also issued an evacuation order in north Gaza, the first in more than two weeks, that included areas that are part of humanitarian pause zones agreed upon for the polio vaccinations, the UN noted on Monday.

However, the IDF said the area was an “active combat zone” after the evacuation order was given in response to Hamas firing two rockets from the area to Ashkelon. It added that residents in the area had received repeated warnings.

The campaign to vaccinate some 640,000 children in Gaza began on September 1, following confirmation by the WHO last month that a baby had been partially paralyzed by the type 2 polio virus, the first such case in the territory in 25 years.
