Gaza begins polio inoculation

Gaza begins polio inoculation

A campaign to inoculate children in Gaza against polio and prevent the spread of the virus has begun. Children in Gaza began receiving vaccines on Saturday, the Strip's health ministry announced at a news conference, a day before the large-scale rollout.

It is a daunting challenge in a besieged enclave shattered by 10 months of war and dependent on commitments by the war's combatants, Israel and Hamas, to abide by pledged "humanitarian pauses". Both Hamas and Israel have agreed to the pauses in the fighting to allow the vaccinations to take place, but the campaign will be tricky to execute.

With much of Gaza's infrastructure destroyed, and some 90 per cent of the enclave's roughly two million residents having repeatedly fled Israeli bombardment, it may be impossible to ensure the immunization of all of the enclave's estimated 640,000 under age 10.
