Gaza aid groups launch urgent polio vaccination campaign

Aid groups in Gaza are launching a vaccination campaign to prevent a polio outbreak, following one confirmed case and suspected cases detected in wastewater. With 600,000 children targeted for vaccination, a seven-day pause in hostilities is requested. Polio vaccination rates have dropped from 99% to 86% since the war began. The World Health Organization plans to deliver 1.6 million doses to Gaza amid deteriorating sanitation conditions.
