Polio vaccinations restart in north Gaza


The final phase of a two-stage polio vaccination campaign has started in north Gaza on Saturday, the World Health Organization (WHO) said.

The second phase was postponed in October by UN agencies due to intense Israeli bombardments, mass displacement and lack of access in the region.

Gaza recorded its first case of polio in 25 years in August, which left a baby boy paralysed and prompted the rollout of the programme.
